It is true that it seems California has cancer warnings on more things than not, and that this makes them so common that their effectiveness is greatly reduced. However, California invests a lot of money into cancer-related research, and as a result they discover quite a bit that the world never knew, and answer long-standing questions in that area. They may have an over-abundance of cancer warnings, which will likely lead to an ironic shift in their devotion to it once the generations that they are bombarding with these warnings become the ones who make those decisions because it might seem unnecessary to continue their research - especially if they are successful in significantly reducing cancer-related deaths.
tl,dr: (see above)
The only thing is that now there are a lot of these warnings like you said, they were actually good for somethings, the studies to find out this stuff was and still is a money and job generating business all of it's own-except what the colleges and universities garner. It did kill my sisters Vega. At least that's what she claimed
. So much good came from a smaller percentage of things most people don't even realize it when they say it. But some of the science that came with it has over the years evolved old school beliefs out the door and safety has just become a standard no one really notices. No blow dryers in the bath tub. Really, some folks HAD to be told, same with no laptop in the bath tub-not a death sentence in modern homes, but you'd think twice before ever taking one in the bath tub. Even so, it was almost vendetta like for a few years. I know a Woman Marine that needed a warning tag on her,yet the Stanford Group didn't and she killed the Samsonite suitcase ape. Some of you might have to look that one up, maybe you tube.
CO² is one of the clingier things you can accumulate in the body. .004 PPM I believe is the toxic amount to stay away from. In the emergency department we would see people who had been poisoned accidentally (A couple not) every few years, like a rash. "I Got sick feeling, went out side for a breath of fresh air, felt better, went inside fora while, got sick feeling" etc. They were sick, the fresh air cleared "some", but not enough until they would go down and someone would find them, hopefully.
Funny thing about CO², standard air purifier-hepa/charcoal- would clean the air good enough for most bad things from "laser" anything.
Two things to note:
1) SLS (laser powder sintering) can produce CO, but only in special circumstances, and are usually industrial machines, very large, and VERY expensive. Highly unlikely to be found in an apartment, even in Berkeley.
2) Regular 3d printers (FDM and SLA/resin) don't produce CO in dangerous quantities, though some filaments for FDM do produce noxious fumes that can cause health problems, but won't kill you in a single (even a prolonged) sitting.
I know a dude from Kinko's, said they have some of them built into certain machines they have. And know, I can't quote him as he is a 2 year ITT grad. Whatever that means?
So, ain't from NY, or D.C. so I like that late breaking news, last to know, and probably less informed, the Oregonian-yesterdays news in the morning, wet and old and is really is not a good source of info-NY does no fact check, AP just sends the same story out to everyone, everywhere at the same time. Right, or wrong, news is news as far as they are concerned, they will clean up their mess after they get back from the bank!
"Sue the FDA for allowing artificial sweeteners in food amongst other stuff"
And then came artificial sweetener......don't get me started there(-Really!), not just the FDA, the DEA, it should be a Schedule 1 narcotic, like LSD, Mushrooms, !!!!! Ever see the way people steal it and hide it like their hiding their pot? Yeah, the FDA DEA ATF all the regulatory folks that want NOTHING bad for us out here, what a joke. Pound for pound it will do things to ya that just eating a pound sugar wont. (Developed to keep aliens alive at Area 51, ain't no joke
Shhhhh.....)
The combined knowledge of those on this site could figure out most everything if needed, but the facts need to be presented so speculation could be lost in the beginning. Lot of knowledge in just 20 posts. Just sayin......................
