Subject: [ferrethealth] protecting ferret lungs (and more) when painting and after
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Given how often ferrets can have lung problems this looks to be a
viable option due to total lack of VOCs. We need to also find
performance data on it since it's definitely of interest to us and may
help someone here have a safer home.

VOCs are Volatile Organic Compounds and here is some info on them:

If you search in Google Books (a segment of Google search) for
"VOCs" +veterinary
it will pull up page 268 of
Veterinary Toxicology: Basic and Clinical Principles By Ramesh Chandra
Gupta
My eyes are not good enough to read that since it is both small and
fuzzy for me from scratch, but yours may be or the enlargement may
work for you.
