[QUOTE="Prototelis, post: 125477, member: 5764"] What? Phenol shouldn't scar your lungs. At most it could give you a chemical burn. But not from breathing it in, mostly thats from direct skin contacts of pure phenol. I mean, if you had actually swallowed a bunch of it straight I could understand.. and you wouldn't have been able to post because you would have most likely been dead. But phenol doesn't mix with air that well. Furthermore, the symptoms you've discussed don't even seem to be consistent with long term or short term exposure to phenol(s) through the air. If you're a smoker I am amlost sure you're doing more damage to your lungs than the active ingredient in almost all common oraly recieved antiseptics. Oh, and tobacco products actually have phenol in them. Also, the chronic use of Tobacco products is also much more closely associated with causing the symptoms you're accusing phenol of causing. Just so you know. It's also in fried chicken, mountain cheese (IE swiss etc.), and certain species of fish. This is most likely why the company isn't paying any workers comp, because for all intensive purposes it doesn't look like phenol exposure is the culprit. Good luck on your claim, though. I recently had an accident at work, and one of my front teeth got broken. I went to my own dentist without any problems, and UPS has actually paid for a veneer. Despite the fact that a veneer could have probably been considered cosmetic, and they could have just pulled the broken tooth out. [/QUOTE]
