I have another concern. I am very worried that I am going to get some horrible form of cancer for absorbing lacquer. I am 43 years old and high school teacher, about 14 years, during a summer job I was spraying a white pigmented sanding lacquer and a white finish coat with lacquer retarder. I wore a respirator the enter time, but had not protective clothing. In fact, I wore a thin short sleeve cotton shirt. I sprayed in a small enclosed building. I would spry for about five minutes, go outside and waited about fifteen minutes and repeated the process most of the day. I did this for about four weeks. Besides getting lacquer on my hands about a dozen times I got it all over my arms, which I would wipe off with lacquer thinner and wash off with water and soap. After reading several studies it appears that I absorbed large about of cancerous toxics. I am very worried and not sure my level of danger. I feel it is high. Am I worry too much. Thank you for your assistance.
