Abstract

Exposure to many of the substances used in ceramics studios and factories poses a potential health threat to ceramics artists. Unfortunately, these artists and their physicians often are unaware of the potential dangers in handling such materials. In this article, Dr Fuortes discusses the hazardous substances and unsafe practices in this type of work and recommends protective measures to reduce health risks.
