Is it safe to breath in insulation over period of time without wearing face mask?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulation: This is not a good idea. While it may be listed as okay - long term effects are not totally known. Small particles can get into you lung and causes fibrosis and cancer. Hence always wear protection.
