I saw this post on the SAFETY LIST out of UVM and thought the info on web
site for Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) might be of some interest to
potters/kiln mavens, et al.

>>Hello Safety Folks...

>>I'm looking for information on refractory glass fiber. I'm familiar with
>>most of the on-going discussions, but am looking for some specific
>>information:
>>
>>- Do you currently use it?
>>- How are you handling it?
>>- What exposure limits are you applying?
>>- Can you reference some recent studies (toxicological, etc.) on exposures?
>>
>>Kind of a "fast-track" issue that I am investigating. Thanks for any help
