There's definitely been a suggested link - it occasionally gets referred to as "the photographer's disease", and there's solvents used in some kinds of colour processing that have been implicated in Parkinson's studies before. Film processing is absolutely OSHA, and editorial used to be back in the day too. Not only are you working with film and chemicals and poo poo, many of the edit rooms on studio lots were put in basements where hazardous materials used to be stored/leaked/etc. I heard one story from an old timer where the whole department got sick and many began vomiting and/or passed out during the course of one weekend. Turns out the building fans shut off on Friday night and unsafe gasses would build up in the rooms. They never figured out exactly what it was, but it wasn't carbon monoxide.

You can pretty easily get a lot of liquid propane inside the fittings, that will burn for a long time after disconnected. I have one of those rosebud-burners, and it burns for like 2 minutes after the propane tank has been fully unscrewed.

I developed black & white (Tri-X) and color slide film (Kodachrome) for years, from college until I was in my thirties. Nothing yet. We used to pour the developer (D-76 & Dektol) down the sink. Don't know what they do with it now. The stop bath was basically vinegar and the fixer was not an issue IIRC.

They quit doing that like a decade ago because it's too mean spirited. Nowadays those guys just get a ton of penalty laid added to their score... and probably blow up early anyways. One of the most recent races had a fully race prepped Mustang enter. Got a poo poo load of penalty laps. Lasted about 24 seconds into the first lap.

The bomb range they did a lot of stuff at was originally set up, y'know, away from populated areas, because it was a BOMB RANGE. Then idiot developers started putting houses near it. So as with all the other situations where this has happened, and if you count OSHA worthy sites like old factories and industrial areas in general that are now residential, who's really to blame? I live half a mile from where an old manufacturing plant used to be which dumped shitloads of PCE into the ground, and the land is covered with expensive townhomes now. All of which have a lot of bullshit in their purchasing documents basically stating "you live on a chemical spill, if you get sick that's your problem". As stupid and lovely as the people who ran the factory were, and while it's clearly their fault the ground is now cancer, are they really responsible for the fact you can now buy a house sitting on top of their old site?

EasilyConfused posted:That's your example of OSHA in the film industry? I don't think there's even a suggested link, unless they are using lead in their film development. Lead is like, just one of several hundred, maybe thousands of substances that cause neurological problems. A great many manufacturing process use chemicals you don't want to be exposed to. A link here to the solvents wouldn't be surprising.

The bags were treated with antibacterial gel inside to prevent the poop from forming gases and exploding the poop bags. After they pooped, they would have to massage the bag for about five minutes so that the poop was thoroughly mixed in with the gel. Captain Jim Lovell, portrayed by Tom Hanks in the movie Apollo 13, didn't like doing this. So, being in charge of the mission, he delegated it.
