A member asked:

While you're at work is it okay to have someone spray paint a machine next to you when you're breathing in the fumes?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not a good idea: Spray painting should be done in an area with adequate vwntilation so you don't have to be exposed to a lot of fumes.

Dr Ferdowsi agreed

Fumes: I would suggest you wear a mask as constant breathing in noxious fumes is unhealthy and could cause you permenant lung damage. Good Luck
