Re: Who's Sick after NJ Regional?

It is Homasote 'ICE DECK'. MSDS here:http://www.homasote.com/msds.pdf

Per manufacturer, the material is made from ground up newspaper and held together with a wax-type bond.

I have had a sore/dry throat and nausea since Friday(but it is getting better), and my daughter has been to doctor(and out of school), but we believe she has cold/flue.

Re: Who's Sick after NJ Regional?

Well, not sure if it was Sovereign Bank Arena/FIRST related or whatnot..but I've gotten the flu, which really sucks because I have to make up the HSPA (standardized exams for juniors in NJ) next week.

Re: Who's Sick after NJ Regional?

Unless it is a dust-related illnesss or started Sunday or later, I would have trouble relating it to the regional because in general diseases are contracted long before they actually appear (I think...) I personally got sick yesterday, but it was my fault - I decided to spend 10 hours on a project, which turned out well but tired me out.

Re: Who's Sick after NJ Regional?

wait wait. freeze. (no pun intended about the ice.. haha)

is that stuff that was over the ice toxic in any way shape or form? I'm picturing asbestos (spelling?) type stuff here.. .I'm paranoid, yes, but if you saw my HS you would be too.

Re: Who's Sick after NJ Regional?

kids under stress + poor eating habits + even worse food+ walking around a cold ice rink all day + contact with 100s of kids from all over the world = robo flu


Maybe the virus going around is the real "FIRST fever"

SO TRUE.

i'm not home with the flu, but i am definitely feeling sickly, and it's getting worse.

it's probably just the lack of sleep and the unhealthy food and the stress...

i doubt it's the cardboard.

i doubt it was asbestos, but all the dust MAY have violated OSHA standards...

Re: Who's Sick after NJ Regional?

Personally, giving my first chairman's presentation put me under a lot of stress... Getting the material together and doing logistics work for outreach has been my life for the past 12 weeks and that alone took a lot out of me... to top it off, excessive cheering, lack of sleep, and stress in general was my explanation for my sudden cold. Could have been something at the arena, who knows. At least seniors get to come in late on HSPA days at HHS

OSHA stands for "Occupational Safety and Health Association"

All workplaces are required to adhere to OSHA rules or they risk being shut down.

There is nothing to be concerned about.

Asbestos is so dangerous because it is inorganic - it never decays. Further, the special crystalline structure of some forms of asbestos make it embed itself into tissue, so coughing and other body functions that would rid you of foreign matter do not work.

The material is paper, with water-resistant glue. You can literally eat it. Not very tasty or nutritious, but not even slightly toxic. The only danger might be from a large piece of it hitting you.

Here, and in general, avoid jumping to conclusions without research. This will serve you well in life.

On the other hand, I was unhappy with the mess it made of my pants, jacket, and anything else that touched the ground. Not to mention, those few pieces that were sliding around nearly an inch - someone might have tripped (though nobody did).

And to those who got sick: Did you wash your hands??

Don

I don't know if the link is to the correct product, but It does say the OSHA requires a resperiator if too much of the stuff is in dust form...

HOWEVER, this is probably much less of a factor than alll the things that Ken Wittlief mentioned.
