I saw this post on the New York Times website this AM. Styrene and styrene “fumes” are now listed as possible carcinogens. This should provoke an interesting discussion by modelers.

Doc Tom
This all bodes the questions: what isn’t carcinogenic? Plus what food isn’t ‘bad’ for you?
It is a proven fact that 100% of the people that eat lettuce will die. So be careful out there everyone.
And don’t inhale styrene!
Don’t ingest it, either!
Don’t huff your paint, or drink your alcohol wash.
Don’t talk on your cell phone–brain cancer.
It never ends…
Have you noticed they never condemn barbecues as carcinogenic…I mean…all that burnt meat!! LOL
Well, guys, we just have to remember not to eat it or set it on fire and try and catch a buzz from the fumes. PVC and Teflon wire insulation have the same “danger” associated with it’s fumes. They took our electric wire strippers at Hughes Aircraft away from us back 1n 1975. It is always something There was a time that the tool that caused the most injuries in the work place was of all things the Xacto knife. Their solution was to put a triangle looking pencil eraser on shaft so it didn’t roll off desk and stab you.
Life causes cancer.
was told that by some joker years ago, but he’s still correct, live long enough, something will kill you. as Bug Bunny said
Never take life too seriously, you’ll never get out of it alive
ROSS MANSELL said:Actually they have. I know of at least on person who says she wont eat barbequed meat because of the carcinogens.
Have you noticed they never condemn barbecues as carcinogenic..I mean..all that burnt meat!! LOL
Boy she is sure missing out on a good meal, oh well. She will probably die choking on a granola bar or something.
I can also say this, my great grandpa lived to 94 years old. He ate eggs and bacon every morning, chewed tobacco and smoked a pipe. He never went overboard on any of it, but he chewed and smoked regularly. Everything in moderation.
“I can also say this, my great grandpa lived to 94 years old. He ate eggs and bacon every morning, chewed tobacco and smoked a pipe. He never went overboard on any of it, but he chewed and smoked regularly. Everything in moderation.”
Wonder how long he would have lived if he did eat eggs and bacon and didn’t smoke? All those lost days in the nursing home drooling on yourself. It is a goal to strive for.
Oh no. Now I have to stop smoking trains? Oh, just the plastic ones. Whew.

David Russell said:Make sure none of THAT gets on your food, or it's e.coli for you.
OH CRAP!
The leading cause of death is birth.
Solution is absurdly simple and easy.
Outlaw birth and then no one will die.
12th Report on Carcinogens
http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/roc12
12th Report on Carcinogens U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius released the 12th Report on Carcinogens on June 10, 2011. (Press Release)
The Report on Carcinogens (RoC) is a congressionally mandated, science-based, public health document that is prepared for the HHS Secretary by the National Toxicology Program.
The report identifies agents, substances, mixtures, and exposure circumstances that are known or reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans.

“Outlaw birth and then no one will die.”
Kind of like the old addage: Sex is hereditary; if your parents didn’t have it - chances are that you WON’T either!
Just for fun,
David Meashey
When I was a kid there were certain foods that only poor folks ate. Mostly because they were cheap and plentiful.
Then some government study in the '70s said beef was bad and the ‘white trash’ food (chicken and fish) was good. Soooo the prices of chicken and especially fish went waaay up, but beef sure didn’t come down. Funny that.
Now you get commercials peddling fish in the middle of a news magazine report on overfishing. And news reports that say the processed crap (that are about all poor folks can regularly afford anymore!) make you fat and give you heart disease and diabetes. (And now on top of that, the far right wants to take away their access to medical care, too? Oookay.)
As for styrene fumes- yes, they’ll make you sick. So will drinking gasoline. The big question is, “How much exposure?” Bathing in it every day? Handling it frequently? Living near a factory? Occasional exposure? Once? Also some things have been “proven to cause cancer” in California, that seemingly don’t anywhere else. Or at least their industries managed to lobby them off the list for everybody else.
Another thing to think about with these types of warnings. Freon didn’t become a “problem” until the year DuPont’s patents were due to expire. It’s more earth friendly (hah, it’s more toxic) replacement was a new DuPont product. Helluva coincidence, no?
if you want to prevent getting cancer, change your lifestyle. - aim for a heart infarct instead!
last guy to be known to evade death was borne about two thousand years ago.
Just another example of wasted tax dollars, I love the “scary” warning about cancer on almost all model railroading products. Quit telling us what might kill us, spend the money on things more important. I ain’t going to live my life in fear.
