FOUR CLEAN-UPS
still be using a toxic coolant, and it would be best to keep it out-
side or at least vented to the outside.
Special Clean-up for Fiberglass..............................................
Fiberglass insulation has microscopically small bits of glass
that are free to blow into the air. When house drafts pull it into
the air you will inhale them. They cut their way through your
lungs and organs like millions of tiny knives, spreading through
your body, since there is no way out for them. You smell nothing
and feel nothing. This makes it a very sinister poison. Your body,
though, recognizes these sharp, pointed bits and tries to stop their
spread by sequestering them in cysts.
Most solid malignant tumors contain fiberglass or asbestos,
another glass-like particle. In nearly all cases a hole can be
found in the ceiling or walls, leading to fiberglass insulated parts
of the house. When these holes are sealed in an air-tight manner
the house air no longer is positive for fiberglass. Covering with
paneling is not sufficient. Check your dwelling for uncovered
fiberglass. Repair immediately. Search for small screw holes
intended for pictures, or electric outlet plates that are missing.
Also remove fiberglass jackets from water heater and fiber-
glass filter from furnace. Replace with foam or carbon. Best of
all, hire a crew to remove it all from your home, and replace in-
sulation with blown-in shredded paper or other innocuous sub-
stance.
Never build a new house using fiberglass for any purpose.
Special Clean-up for Asbestos................................................
The biggest source of asbestos is not building materials! It is
the clothes dryer belt and hair dryer! To be safe, remove the belt
from your dryer and check to see if it says “Made in USA” on
