Dear brothers,

I recently attended a training program on Environmental Management System. During the session, the trainer mentioned that MDF boards, which is in high usage these days for making furnitures and shelves at our homes has substances which are highly carcinogenic. Generally the furnitures and shelves made out of the MDF boards are safe. But, while working with the boards, the dust that come out of it during cutting or sawing process is what really dangerous.

So, while people work using these boards, it is advised to use masks to avoid inhaling the dust. Please advise our kids and women from going near to the place where these boards are being cut or sawed while making furnitures at our homes.
