Materials used in the manufacturing process are inert once encapsulated in glass and when fired at normal fusing temperatures.
A more immediate safety concern in the kiln-glass studio is airborne glass powder. Make sure your studio is well ventilated and that you wear a NIOSH-approved respirator. If you work with glass powder, we recommend including a HEPA-filtered vacuum in your studio equipment.
The following links provide more information on safety, potential hazards, and ways to minimize risks.
