Working with MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) poses several dangers, primarily due to the fine dust generated during cutting and sanding, which can lead to respiratory issues if inhaled. MDF contains urea-formaldehyde, a chemical that can off-gas and cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Additionally, the dust can be a fire hazard, and without proper ventilation and protective equipment, workers risk long-term health effects. It’s crucial to follow safety protocols, including using masks and working in well-ventilated areas.
