Good question Janet. I did a little research and found although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Poplar has been reported as an irritant; usually most common reactions simply include eye, skin, and respiratory irritation.

Here is a link that contains more information than the chart.

I wear glasses and the fogging is quite annoying.  I finally got around to doing some much needed cleaning in my shop tonight.  When I dumped out the vaccuum (sp), cleaning out that air filter, made me realize how much I am breathing in.

Good info on the 'Dust Bee Gone" mask.  I will need to check those out.
