In thinking some more about the idea of spraying in the open in the studio
as allowed by Howard I wonder if the greater risk is not what you would
subject yourself to at the time (which is what his test looked at). Not the
initial spray in the air but the latent chrome settling everywhere and being
trod on. It would eventually be an airborne powder. Then the exposure would
not be just just when sprayed but continuous and cumulative with the
resident quantity increasing with each spray event. Howard's sampling the
air is interesting but incomplete without sampling the floor sweepings, not
to mention the countertops, cushions, and book bindings.

I'm interested to see what I think of spraying on the gum dichromate. But
I'll only do it in a spray booth.
