I feel I should raise the question of the source of the saw dust. Could it
have been from pressure treated wood, impregnated with heavy metals? Could
it have been from aggregate wood products - plywood or particle board -
introducing synthetic adhesives and other toxics such as formaldehyde into
the process?
