hi, i hope someone can advise me about the health risks involved in handling bronze patinas. i'm working for a company that makes bronze statues for awards etc, and am not familiar with this medium. are rubber gloves and a dust mask sufficient protection? and what are the potential hazzards? so far i've been using nothing at all, but am rethinking that since sore throats etc persist when ever i work there. the company doesn't provide anything and claims it's harmless. can anyone tell me more?
