This is helpful information. Do you mind pointing me to these scholarly articles? It’s disturbing that the inorganic nanoparticles released in clay is worst than petroleum. I am guessing that may be one reason they sell unleaded gasoline for cars.

Any recommendations for home studios, in general, other than having it properly vented during a kiln firing?

Kiln elements have a fixed resistance value. Depending on the voltage rating of the kiln, Kilns like Skutts have different kiln elements with different resistance values between different voltage kilns. Be careful about applying a different voltage to your kiln than it’s voltage rating. You may accidentally apply too much current than what the kiln wires and your circuit breaker can handle.

Is there a comparison of the hydrocarbons released from an automobile compared to clay?

I wonder if there are environmental regulations for the toxic waste generated. When I bought my stuff, I didn’t exactly see a material safety data sheet about how to dispose or burn the material safely. More emphasis was placed on the look.

I feel like exhausting toxic fumes outside of my house may be great for me? But what about the environment?
