Need reference: were temperature sticks once carcogenic?
Need reference: were temperature sticks once carcogenic?
(OP)
I think I once heard or read about a specific range of temperature sticks (which are used to measure eg. preheat temp), that could not be sold/produced anymore because they would cause harm (and I'm rather sure it was cancer).
I did not find anything specific on the web, because my search terms are rather vague.
Anyone with a better memory as mine can either confirm or deny this (+ source if possible)?
And yes, I'm talking temperature sticks, not the Thorium-O2 doped Tungsten electrodes or anything else.
Many thanks from a frustrated soul...

One area that id draw attention was soapstone markers as some contained Asbestos. Our environmental group,ESH, went crazy over this because a lot of material came into the site that was marked with soapstone.

i never picked my teeth with a Thoriated Tungsten either, but have seen it done many times.
Years ago we had heater that had a soapstone exterior panels and top where my mother did some cooking. They still make them.
