Contact me privately to discuss the cirumstances of the moms' exposures to
these chems. Best advise in general is to make sure that the area is very
well ventilated so volatile solvent exposure will be kept to a minimum.
Use a fume hood, if available; cover solvent containers, keep solvent
soaked rags and paint brushes stored safely, and use common sense. But,
in general, yes, there will be some absorption of volatile lipophilic (fat
soluble) chemicals to the blood, and then likely some amount to the milk
from maternal fat stores. Overall, breast is still best, but keep those
exposures to a minimum. judy
