This practical guide to artists' safety is divided into two sections, the first of which addresses the chemical and physical hazards commonly found in art and craft materials and processes. It begins by explaining the effects of various hazards on each system of the human body, and then discusses the toxicities of individual gases, liquids, dusts, and fumes. It recommends safety precautions, and discusses what to do if you do become ill or get injured. The second part is organized by the particular art and craft technique, such as painting & drawing, printmaking, ceramics, photography, textile arts, and so on, and includes chapters addressing special topics of commercial art, modern technology in art, and children and art materials.
