Wood species toxicity

Abstract

While there are a handful of universally toxic woods (e.g., yew), for most woods and woodworkers, toxicity is a complex but fundamentally individual matter. Some people will react to minor exposures to a given wood, while others can work that species with no obvious effect. What matters most is how we are exposed to those chemicals, how our bodies can react, and how we can protect against exposure to those chemicals.
