Subject: Pietenpol-List: MEK warningWhen my father met with his second oncologist (after having had colon cancer last year and now liver cancer) the doctor asked him if he had a history of being exposed to solvents, especially MEK. I started looking around on a few websites, and found a lot of "smoking guns" in regard to a link between MEK andcancer. Needless to say, I use MEK impervious gloves and PPE when working with this stuff and I try and keep a good flow of fresh air going in and out ofmy hanger when around this stuff. No wonder everyone charges a substantial hazmat fee when shipping MEK.
