Talk:Down'n'dirty Blacksmithing/safety

please add a section about air quality safety, as it relates to burning fuels and exhaust gasses. also a note on safety page about what metals to NOT use in a forge as various metal compounds can be VERY toxic. ex: stainless steel= Hexavalent Chromium (not generally forged but a safety note is still advisable) or galvanized=zinc oxide. 173.28.12.204 (discuss) 23:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

For synthetics, the advice is correct, except that it doesn't mention aramid fibers as a class. Aramids, like Kevlar and Nomex, are very fire resistant, neither melting nor catching fire in normal oxygen levels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramid).
