The IARC classifies D-limonene as a Group 3 carcinogen: not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.[13].[17]<br />No information is available on the health effects of inhalation exposure to D-limonene in humans,[dubious – discuss] and no long-term inhalation studies have been conducted in laboratory animals"<br /><br />This is the link to the statement as to what Group 3 carcinogems means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IARC_Group_3_carcinogens</i><br /><br />This is the link to the US Environmental Protection Agency's assessment of D-Limonene http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0682.htm<br /><br />I'd appreciate in future if anybody making alarming statements about products would also produce the URLs which point to the evidence. Googling the name of the chemical did NOT produce the results predicted by the person leaving the last comment.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-88188677323645576612011-11-14T10:38:58.641+00:002011-11-14T10:38:58.641+00:00please, please, please! These citrus based solvent...please, please, please! These citrus based solvents are TOXIC! They contain D-Limonene, a known carcinogen, among other things, and I had one that contained alcohol as well start eating into my plastic bone folder! D-Limonene is a natural substance, just like hydrocarbons are; its all advertising stuff and nonsense! The products are not safe and they are not ecologically or environmentally friendly. Google them and read the manufacturing statements.spinningdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211231649784777346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1141433872977164082006-03-04T00:57:00.000+00:002006-03-04T00:57:00.000+00:00Kathy, I don't mean to say that one way or the oth...Kathy, I don't mean to say that one way or the other is better, just to say that I, personally, like to see process, signs of searching, eruptions of energy. It is the old Ingres/Gericault dichotomy, I think. You belong firmly in the Ingres camp and you are to be congratulated for your fine work.<BR/>L(lines)Laurelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050096410382276071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1141390242657471312006-03-03T12:50:00.000+00:002006-03-03T12:50:00.000+00:00And being so absorbed in getting the links right I...And being so absorbed in getting the links right I forgot to say thank you for the comments on my work [DUH!!!]. <BR/><BR/>Thank you - I'm going to remember that one!<BR/><BR/>I'll pass your comment on to Kathy as well as she always likes to get feedback about her workMaking A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1141390113052359032006-03-03T12:48:00.000+00:002006-03-03T12:48:00.000+00:00I thought I'd fixed that problem!

Kathy Ellis's drawings are so intensely worked, aren't they? While they are lovely, I prefer seeing some of the process in the final piece. I think your work, Katherine, has a freshness and robustness and immediacy that is rare in colored pencil work.Laurelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050096410382276071noreply@blogger.com
