Occupational and environmental hazards in art.
Artists and craftspeople, art teachers, hobbyists, and children often use art materials containing toxic chemicals without suitable precautions and often without the knowledge that their art materials are hazardous. The Center for Safety in the Arts, a national clearinghouse for research and education on hazards in the visual and performing arts, answers telephoned and written inquiries on art hazards, distributes publications, publishes a newsletter, and offers educational programs and consultative services to arts organizations.
