Two New ESTA Fog And Smoke Documents Available For Free Public Review
LiveDesign: "The public reviews run through March 17; when March 18 starts, the reviews are over. The first is a reaffirmation of the existing ANSI E1.5 - 2003, Entertainment Technology - Theatrical Fog Made With Aqueous Solutions Of Di- And Trihydric Alcohols. The standard describes the composition of theatrical fogs or artificial mists that are not likely to be harmful to healthy performers, technicians, or audience members of normal working age, which is 18 to 64 years of age, inclusive. It is limited to those fogs and mists made from a solution of water and one or more dihydric or trihydric alcohols, and is intended to be applicable in theatres, arenas, and other places of entertainment or public assembly."

im a bit surprised that these sorts of tests havent been done already. its good that ESTA has people working on submitting these sorts of proposals to OSHA - we all know the manufacturers can't be bothered with it. if they could, they'd merely spec their tests to make their products look the best.
and i'd love to get my hands on a 600V fogger...
One of my High School teachers used to be the Rosco east coast Rosco Rep. I was surprised the number of times people tried to sue them for their fog/haze fluids supposedly affecting their respiratory systems. Though this is coming from a somewhat Bias source, few to none of the allegations where able to have been proved linked to a Rosco product, and most of the plaintiffs where found to have other sources being the problem. Not to mention the MSDS they had on their side every time they went to court.
Though I'm not really sure what this article means for anything like that.
(and a 600V fogger is something I would love to see)
