This fall, a special committee commissioned by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) completed a re-evaluation of the cancer hazard of synthetic mineral fibers, such as fiberglass. The panel concluded that the cancer risk from fiberglass is “not classifiable.” This reverses an action taken in 1988, in which IARC concluded that fiberglass was [...]

Everyone has heard about the association between lung cancer and asbestos. Since some forms of asbestos are similar in appearance to fiberglass fibers, many people wonder if handling fiber-glass could also result in the development of cancer or other serious health hazards. Scientists have made over 400 studies of fiberglass in an attempt to answer [...]

Fiber glass is categorized within a group of man-made materials historically referred to as man-made vitreous fibers, now known as synthetic vitreous fibers (SVFs). It is made from natural ingredients like molten sand and large amounts of recycled glass products such as bottles, window glass, and industrial plate glass. Most commonly used as insulation, fiber [...]

What is Fiberglass
Fiberglass is a man-made product that is composed of natural ingredients such as sand and recycled products such as window glass and bottles. The ingredients are melted and spun to create small strands of fiberglass that together form “glass wool”.
Fiberglass insulation has been used since the 1930s and is now the most widely [...]

MADISON, Wis. — Wood reinforced with fiberglass potentially offers “green”—or environment-friendly— products, according to a life-cycle inventory (LCI) that investigated the energy consumed and environmental emissions produced during its premanufacture and manufacturing stages. The analysis was conducted by researchers at ERG, Inc., of Lexington, Mass., and reported in the Forest Products Journal in June, [...]

The traditional method of building boats — out of wood, and by hand — gave way 30 years ago to boats made of fiberglass in manufacturing plants. Now, the marine industry is building boats with sophisticated plastics intended to make watercraft stronger but lighter in weight.
Pelican International in Laval, Quebec, recently introduced a small motor [...]

Fiberglass and five other compounds in insulation, glues and fuels could be human carcinogens, the Government has reported.
But the inclusion of fiberglass, which is most commonly found in insulation, in the Annual Report on Carcinogens should not cause panic, industry officials and the Health and Human Services Department said on Thursday.
Glass fibers injected into rats [...]
