does knauf cavity wall insulation cause health problems?

Nope, it is simply a dental liner which is placed in large or deep cavity preps under the filling. It acts as a sedative base or an insulating base, as well as forming secondary dentin or repairing. It is not harmful, however as the years go on and new technology comes out more and more dentists are opting against using liners, because they feel they are not as benificial as they thought them to be...It is merely preference in dentists, nor is wrong. Hope this helps answer your question!!!!

Just because you brush your teeth doesn't make you immune from cavities.\n\nSudden sensitivity to cold is a sign of a cavity.  Suck it up and go to the dentist, or you'll have more than just an occasional pain.

Just curious why a teacher wouldnt ask the school admin about this first, but since you asked - it is very possible to get it done. Most likely the duct work in the school could use a good cleaning (dust buildup, mouse poop, whatever).  BUT it would also be a good idea for actual air quality testing to be done by the environmental health agency near you, because if you are having these reactions, I bet the students are too.

I work in the health care field and I have the same problem. It's something to do with the texture. Even thinking about it gives me the goosebumps. I have even run into a few patients who are the same way.

Speaking from personal experience mold can be extremely dangerous to someone's health. I lived in a basement that had mold and I had problems breathing and I swelled up several sizes. I also became very depressed. I didn't connect everything until months later.\n\nIt can be even more dangerous for small children- there is even some evidence that certain types of mold are linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)\n\nI know there are lots of different kinds of mold but if you have any in your house it would be well worth the expense of getting it professionally removed.

Yes power transmission lines can be harmful. I would definitely do not touch them.  Causing cancer?  Well a few more studies need to be made to prove or to disprove that.

No No andNo.   I just saw a news broadcast (locally) that spotlighted the lingering long term effects about this very scenario.......You need to call your health dept and find out if the landlord had it "Properly" cleaned out.....fresh paint doesn't cut it!!!!

Probably...yes. If not just gross. Usually fungus found in bathrooms (or moist areas) contain small amounts of toxins, and when congregated can be quite hazardous. These fungi generate spores that when inhaled can have nasty effects. Definitely do not ignore this one.

Some recent studies and lawsuits have identified teflon with certain ailments and diseases. Corning just lost a multi million dollar lawsuit for faulty teflon.

Yes, because I have pets and their health is valuable to me, along with my own health and safety.  Not only that, we need more products that don't hurt the environment.  We don't need to be breathing chemicals in our houses.  I'm a cancer survivor and I'm a firm believer that environmental hazardous products cause about 90% of cancers, whether it be aluminium in deoderant to ammonia in cleaners.  I feel it breaks down the body's natural defenses to illness.

From my experience, I lived in a mouldy apartment last year. I experienced on-going sinus and alergy problems. This totally affected my life. My clothes also began to get mouldy too, so when I wore those clothes even after I'd moved out of the apartment, I had to excuse myself from work, so I could go home and change because the effect of the mould on my eyes and   throat and nose was so bad. I literally couldnt do my job because of it. Hope this experience helps.

Hmmm well eating ballons isn't that healthy no matter what thhy are coated with, just beacuse of the material they are made out.  But other than that there should be no other effects, talk to a doctor if you get any other symptoms though!

It would decrease insulation.  Fiberglass insulation is engineered with air pockets for optimum heat retention.\n\nIf it WAS better to pack it in, manufacturers would sell a higher density product and charge more.

I ended up going to the doctor and getting anti-fungal pills to take.  He ex-rayed my face and there were pockets of stuff in my sinuses.  Everyone I know is complaining of stuffy nose, sinus infection, Katrina cough, sore throats, etc.  You are not doomed. Just get to a doctor and describe what's going on.  Since I took those anti-fungals, I feel much better.  Part of the problem is the mold.  Everything that got wet molded, and with people gutting out their homes, there is all sorts of mold being released into the air.  I wouldn't worry so much about asbestos as the mold.  Also be warned, many of these old houses have layers of lead paint, so lead is also being released.  \n\nThis problem will last for quite a while, as a lot of people STILL have not returned to gut their homes.\n\nAnother factor for you and others from other areas is the humidity.  If you aren't used to the level of humidity we have here, that could be making you feel even worse.  I have a cousin in the National Guard, and he says here at home he now has trouble breathing because he had gotten used to the drier air in Iraq.\n\nThank you for coming to help.

Yes. It's one of the main causes.\n\nhttp://zappa.ultrakohl.com/medstud/Meddocs/Panc2.htm

It's not dangerous to rinse with.  But it can make you sick if you swallow it.  If it was dangerous, they wouldn't be selling it.  Fluoride mouthrinses are very effective at preventing cavities.
