But sticking with the smoke for a while, my work in BP Oil used to involve what happens to fuel after it goes through an engine. What comes out is a chemical stew, commonly called "smoke". Bingo.. if it's anything, it's the particulates that may have been breathed in due to either removing masks (because they are hot). There was a tremendous amount of asbestos and other materials that were pulverized. And asbestos, as we now know, resembles barbed wire when viewed under the microscope, and will definitely tear up a set of lungs. Hell, I quit smoking just recently and I've coughing and hacking more NOW, than I was when I smoked. It's just the process of my body eliminating all of that accumulated crud I inhaled into my lungs for years. Were these illnesses due to a chemical cause, it would impact more than just the lungs, IMO. And Doug's contention that workers were told not to wear their masks is ridiculous. I can't imagine a Union Representative around that would permit anyone to "demand" that their workers not wear protective gear. Hawk
