Fiberglass itself is listed as a carcinogen. And its a powerful respiratory
irritant. OSHA has proposed a 1 fiber/cc limit and ACGIH has set their TLV
at this same limit.
And the "pink" is usually urea formaldehyde resin which is why so many people
itch or get a rash when they use it.

Thank you, Monona! It is super that you will share your expertise with
me so that I don't go off on a quixotic quest uninformed. Carolyn
