    Study Notes

    Dry Drawing Media Hazards

    • Dry drawing media includes crayons, oil pastels, pastels, chalks, and charcoal, which signify possible health risks, especially for individuals with asthma.
    • Crayons and oil pastels are generally safe from inhalation hazards, although certain oil pastels may contain toxic pigments that are dangerous if ingested.
    • Pastels and chalks can create dust that poses inhalation hazards, particularly for those with respiratory conditions such as asthma.
    • To mitigate dust inhalation, avoid blowing away excess dust from pastels or charcoal; tap the materials instead to let dust fall to the ground.
    • Clean surfaces by wet-mopping or wet-wiping to effectively remove dust particles from the environment.
    • Consider using a respirator if inhalation of dust from dry media is a concern.

    Liquid Drawing Media Hazards

    • Liquid drawing media includes water-based and solvent-based inks and markers, which introduce their own hazards.
    • Most drawing inks are water-based, but some may contain harmful solvents like xylene, which can pose health risks.
    • Permanent felt-tip markers commonly used in design can contain solvents, with xylene as the prevalent ingredient; newer markers might use propyl alcohol, which is less toxic but still an irritant to the eyes, nose, and throat.
    • The principal risk with permanent felt-tip markers arises when multiple markers are utilized simultaneously in close proximity, increasing exposure to fumes.
    • Dry erase or whiteboard markers may have associated hazards, albeit their primary function is for teaching and commercial use.
