OK HERE ARE THE GOODS
(1) here is an article:
Decades of Hazardous Fumes from Carbon Disulfide
And here is a quote from the article:
"Although levels of intoxication had been lowered, a new wave of epidemiological studies uncovered other, health threats by breathing its hazardous fumes. The association with carbon disulfide and Parkinson was found. And findings that exposure could lead to the hardening of the arteries, cerebral vascular disease, and stroke.
This has to do with viscose rayon and Carbon Disulfide FUMES, EXACTLY THE TYPE OF FUMES THAT WILL GO AIRBORN WHEN RAYON IS BURNED. HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES, CV DISEASE AND STROKE COULD RESULT.
Quote from another study: "Reports from Finland and the United Kingdom have drawn attention to the association between occupational exposure to carbon disulfide and coronary heart disease (CHD), even at lower exposures."
(2) here is that link:
http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/123058/AQG2ndEd_5_4carbodisulfide.PDF
From that link this: "The excretion of the “free” carbon disulfide through the skin is about three times greater than that via the urine." The study also indicates only 1 percent of carbon disulfide is excreted thru urine. Ie (Carbon disulfide invades the human body molecular system. And that is "free carbon disulfide, not the stuff that stays in the human body.)
(3)And this compilation: The link:

From that study the following: "Vascular atherosclerotic changes are also considered a major effect of chronic carbon disulfide exposure." Notice the words "major effect" which means chronic or with continuous exposure vascular or
arteriosclerosis is POSITIVE. MEANING, ITS GOING TO HAPPEN.
In yet another study, 8 dogs were exposed to carbon disulfide by inhalation. Here is what happened: " Retinal angiopathy, possibly as an early sign of arteriosclerosis, developed from the 5th week on. In the heart, significant deviations from the ECG (T wave inversions and accompanying elevation of the RT segment) of normal dogs indicated myocardial derangement. All animals died between week 10 and 15 of exposure."
Therefore, exposure to carbon disulfide airborne, is A KNOWN VASCULAR HAZARD. There are numerous other links on the web, linking carbon disulfide and vascular disease.
In Viscose Rayon, the molecular structure of cellulose is compressed or re-arranged by carbon disulfide to make Rayon. So there you go, there is the science of it.
AND SINCE LYOCELL HAS SILICONE IN IT THERE ARE NO SAFE RAYON ALTERNATIVES.
It was also reported by the New Hampshire department of environmental services that: " Liver toxicity was seen in animals exposed by inhalation to very high concentrations of carbon disulfide." If the liver cant metabolize it, it will stay in the body.
1)The finished product is NOT pure cellulose.
2)The residue is immaterial as the solution/agent are chemically processed to the finished product, modifying the cellulose molecular chain.
3)The fact that there are 4000 posts here is meaningless. Peoples health is more important than a news thread. There might be 100 people in the world who if you put them together would want to eat cardboard, that doesnt mean people should.
4)Lyocell rayon contains silicone, soaps and unlisted agent. Viscose contains hazardous substances. These substances contribute to the finished product, without which there is no Rayon.
5)A single verified source? There is no cause/effect. It has never been studied, because Rayon was not designed for human ingestion. Polyester has never been ingested either, but that doesnt make it safe for human ingestion. If you want to PRESUME something safe, with no prior arrangements available - which you have done<<< well, this speaks for itself. People can be the first to swallow polyester too, but just because they did and are still walking, this doesnt mean others should need verified sources why others shouldn't.
You people have concluded that because Rayon is declared safe for clothing wear and other uses, its also safe for human ingestion, inhalation. This premise is preposterous ,false and misleading. You can wear poisonous berries on clothing too and it wont harm you, but if you eat them your dead. Be clear to reasonable thinking.
1) There is no open source network on human ingestion of Rayon, thus No footnotes. Dont pretend that it SHOULD exist, you know it has not ever been ingested/inhaled until now.
2) Consumption of wood products in paper tobacco ones is irrelevant in discussing Rayon ingestion. It was mentioned because some wood products and particularily tree bark are dangerous. In Rayon we simply dont know WHAT PART of the wood pulp is used.
3) Lets not do Silica either, it is sufficient to know that because it doesnt burn easily, airborn hazards are miniscule.
You are correct I am convinced. I do believe it is a forgone reality but there is little science on it. There is however, evidence of it from the chemicals used to make Rayon. There is no science on it because people have never ingested/inhaled Rayon. To talk about science you have to be fair to the idea. Whats known is relatively simple. That is the following: Rayon has chemicals, some has silicone, others soaps and other agents. Like water in a cup, when Rayon goes airborne it will go, to the lungs to the arteries. Its a recipe for
arteriosclerosis of the arteries. <<< THIS IS A PROVEN FACT FROM CONTINUAL EXPOSURE TO CARBON DISULFIDE.
1) yeah Hi also Jeremy.
2) With respect to the other parts of your post, THERE IS NO STUDY WHICH CERTIFIES RAYON AS SAFE FOR HUMAN INGESTION, Inhalation, QUIT PRETENDING THAT THERE IS ONE.
3) You are not a scientist either Jeremy, so dont pretend that science exists on Rayon inhalation. There is science however on the chemicals used to make Rayon and enough known about how the chemicals modify cellulose, to call it a day and say Rayon is unsafe for inhalation/ingestion. You want a source on how consuming Rayon will cause people to die? If I had that we wouldnt have be having this discussion. Absurd. I mean, must I find someone who drank a liquid house cleaner who died, to prove people shouldn't?
4) I am giving you a break. I am trying to help insure you dont wreck your cardiovascular system. That is quite a break indeed.
5) In your other posts when you say, "The science behind it is pretty solid." Be clear on the facts, there is No science of any kind available on human ingestion /inhalation of airborn Rayon which proclaims it safe or is solid. To the contrary the evidence indicates artery disease, as a certainty from continuous exposure to carbon disulfide.
