Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
It is now widely recognized that the supplies commonly used by artists can be highly toxic. In fact, they are regulated under an amendment to the Toxic Substances Control Act. The author, herself an artist and a chemist, has completely revised her first edition of this guide to handling such substances (Allworth Pr., 1990), a highly important work for any artist, craftsperson, or teacher in the arts. Rossol covers solvents, pigments and dyes, metals and metal compounds, minerals, and plastics. She discusses their relationships to diseases of the skin, eyes, respiratory system, heart and blood, nervous system, liver, kidneys, bladder, and reproductive system. This is more than just an alarming catalog of hazards, however; the book is largely devoted to practical precautions for various media, including painting, printmaking, textiles, glass, photography, and smithing. This comprehensive guide is highly recommended for any artist's studio or art teacher's classroom and for all libraries that serve those in the arts and crafts.

Review
"A highly important work for any artist, craftsperson, or teacher in the arts. . . . This comprehensive guide is highly recommended for any artist's studio or art teacher's classroom and for all libraries that serve those in the arts and crafts." -- Library Journal
"A valuable guide to how to work safely and stay healthy. Author Monona Rossol is a nationally known expert in the field of art safety. In this guide, Rossol has condensed her expertise and translated it into language every artist should understand." -- Arts & Activities
"Appropriately written for the general reader, the book is also clearly organized and fairly well-referenced for ease of use. Highly recommended for individual artists, art teachers, and others with special interests in the arts." -- American Public Health Association
"Industrial hygienist Monona Rossol intends to inform artists who work daily with hazardous materials of the effects of various commonly used chemicals and toxins on themselves and the environment." -- American Theatre
"Intended as a resource for artists, craftspeople and teachers, this guide identifies hazardous materials and the problems they may cause, and suggests steps for safe handling and use." -- Ceramics Monthly
"No matter whether your focus is fine or graphic art, maintaining personal health as well as the health of the environment should be a top priority. We all work with toxic substances, and ACHS. . . details what these substances are and how we can reduce harmful exposure by making informed choices." -- The Artist's Magazine
"Should be on every artist's and craftworker's studio reference shelf." -- Crafts Report
"Studio owners and employers should read this book and review their studio practices. Employees should read this book to become aware of their work habits . . . . This is not a book to read for fun but it is essential reading, nevertheless." -- Stained Glass Quarterly
"This book should be on the desk of all art teachers who venture beyond paper and pencil as expressive art media. The cost of this book is easy on the pocketbook, and the information provided should ease the mind." -- School Arts
