is graphite dust poisonous?

[vinny]

From what I can read from google, the answer is absolutely not.

From seeing graphite guys grinding it for 30 years and having no adverse
effects, it seems safe.

And from personal use, in very confined areas I feel nothing out of the
ordinary.

Yet...we had a safety meeting and they say wear a good mask or lose lung
capacity.
I disagreed. (how dare me question experts)

The stuff is made of carbon, and its graphitized. Kinda like heat treating
steel, it just changes the structure, not the contents.
And carbon is harmless considering ALL living things are riddled with the
stuff.

But is the dust harmless?

My theory, in lower doses its proberbly good for you, absorbing crap in your
lungs and then absorbed or coughed out.

So now we have all these people walking around with masks to block the
carbon.

What do you guys think?
I bet is worse to live near a beach with the silica in the air.

OSHA has really been cracking down on any sort of dust.

Here's the CDC standards for it:

I'm sure the cases outlined are outliers, but it seems
reasonably nasty.

====================
While most likely somewhat less hazardous than coal dust as
it is purer, most likely will still induce "black lung
disease."

note that you may cough up *SOME* of the carbon dust, but
most remains in the lungs, and accumulates over time. Many
traditional people also have this problem because of smoke
filled huts due to lack of chimneys or flues and
heating/cooking with open wood fires.

100% correct. There are rural folk in South America with rampant lung
issues from similar airborne contaminants. The solution we have been
helping them learn about and implement is better ventillation. ...They
don't have access to or a desire to wear masks all the time.

I think you should stop trying to smoke it. It will clog your pipe.

"Hi everyone, I bought bobcam for 600 bux to show my job they need to get
some cad cam and teach me. However it was in vain, I guess they just want me
to keep running the saw. But all I want to do is learn how to drill holes so
I can be like my hero jb. I hate them, they are so mean to me".

Yah, Im a troll. Ive participated in pushing many over the edge, and even
removed alt.romath in a troll war.
The nickname I got was "vinny the land mine layer".
This is a mans playground, just like in the shop. Its our duty as toolmakers
to push those teetering on the edge over that edge.
Your on that edge, and the temptation is becoming too unbearable to ignore.
However, I play nice in this group. But I dont have to.
If everyone wants to see you implode, fuck, ill do it.
My home is alt.hackers.malicious, and I'd call in the team, except these
guys in here are trying to be lagit, and I appreciate that.

Keep poking at me missy and "Allen" will start posting some fucked up shit
from alt.abortion to alt.skinheads, and the whole group will turn on
"allen".
Allens neibors will be contacted from the child protection agency allerting
them to the fact a pedophile lives next door.
A simple google search can confirm my ability to do so.


ALL I need is someone to double dog dare me, and I will remove allen from
alt.machines.cnc.

Waiting for responce...
The weekend is almost here, so make your move so everyone can get some
popcorn and watch.

One more thing my brainless wonder. $600 is not 1/3 of $1000. You not
only can read or spell you can't do simple math.

You're one retarded shit vinny.

No vinny, you are a simple minded little man. Nothing more. You are so
full if crap we can smell you vinny. You have no life and are incapable
of spelling, reading and comprehending simple things in general. You're
a self admitted racist and most are most likely mad at the world. The
fact that you actually believe this BS is purely amazing.

What is plain to see here vinny, is that they're right about you being
unstable and we believe you ARE about to crumble. As a matter of fact we
are witnessing it now with this psychotic rant.

I'll poke at you vinbozo and their ain't shit you can do about it
troll. You are all mouth as usual vinbozo. ALL MOUTH.

I bet it's you that spends hour after hour drilling holes because you
sure don't seem to have half a brain to be capable of anything better.

Now run little one, run away and crawl back under that rock where you
obviously came from.

Wahahahahaha.........
