That’s absurd. Of course adding all of those factors together compounds to have a negative effect on our health, but this thread is about a workplace hazard that if you’re exposed to just once it can ****** you up for life.
Let’s stay focused on the topic at hand for crying out loud. This should be a very serious concern to all of us unless you’re on the B787.

You still go to work everyday and haven't changed careers so you clearly don't think it's that big of a deal.
The intent of my post was that there are a lot of things out there that will shorten your lifespan. If you want to live as long as possible, I suggest changing several habits that are proven to shorten lifespans.

Would be hard to sit at a bar on an overnight and with a straight face complain to each other about how that smell may cause some health issues when older, as you pound that 9% Belgian. I’m not saying the risk isn’t there, but if you’re going to make a stink about it, wouldn’t you need to be the guy who doesn’t drink, exercises, isn’t 40lbs overweight, etc?
