Do you have a 3D printer in your home, school or office? Do your kids have one at school?
If so, or if you’re considering buying one, listen to Dr. Marilyn Black of UL Chemical Safety talk with Green Connections Radio host Joan Michelson about a ground-breaking new study that revealed the hazards of these magical machines and how you can reduce the risks to your and your kids’ health – or anyone standing near it.
You'll hear:
· What volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are and why they are dangerous.· How these VOCs and vapors penetrate your blood system and can get into your brain.· How small children’s bodies absorb environmental matter much faster than adult bodies.· Steps to take to reduce your and your kids’ risks, from ventilation to 3D printer certifications.· Career tips and more!
"Follow your passion…making sure you have a genuine interest in that area, but you also have the professional capability in that area as well…you need to step out of your comfort zone and start an initiative that helps you apply all that passion and knowledge.”
