But to put it into perspective, it's not as if fiberglass insulation is
asbestos. The American Lung Association recommends caution.
"Direct contact with fiberglass materials or exposure to airborne
fiberglass dust may irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Fiberglass
can cause itching due to mechanical irritation from the fibers. This is
not an allergic reaction to the material. Breathing fibers may irritate
the airways resulting in coughing and a scratchy throat. Some people are
sensitive to the fibers, while others are not."
and
"The IARC [International Agency for Research on Cancer] working group
revised their previous classification of glass wool being a possible
carcinogen. It is currently considered not classifiable as a human
carcinogen. Studies done in the past 15 years since the previous report
was released, do not provide enough evidence to link this material to
any cancer risk."
