Tom - if I read one of your posts correctly - you work in a print shop. Well 
I used to own one, and am very aware of the potential of VOCs among other 
things. Especially reactions between inks, recycled paper and foutain 
solutions. I find it amazing that as technology progress and we get so called 
more environment friendly, that quite often the end result is not people 
frienldly.
One warning I do have for anyone working in a printshop or similiar where 
there is a lot of physical movement. I had a "flu" as a small child, 
suspected as polio, but not totally diagnosed as such. In 1978 I had a knee 
injury and the WCB board had a muscle biopsy done which revealed old polio 
muscle damage. All my life I have suffered symptoms which I saw described 
time after time in the messages I have read on this board. 
The warning is that it now seems that the marginal polio victums are more 
suseptible to onset of spinal calcification, chronic fatigue/pain symptoms 
etc. The problem encountered is that the neurological damage that can be done 
is so extensive that decades can go by before the problems really surface. 
One of the first things to do is to protect the spinal area. Get one of these 
new back braces and use it. They don't help you to lift more, but by slowly 
increasing the restraint when moving/lifting etc. in the wrong direction, 
they reduce the stress inflicted on the body. I find in the car the back 
brace and an Obus seat/back insert reduce problems immensely.
Another thing is if you can - get xrays done of the lower spinal area. If the 
calcification is started, then you have a warning to slow down. If it hasn't, 
then you have a baseline for future testing.
