Many moons ago - I was advised PH is very important to the process of
minimizing allergic reactions to soluble coolant in machine tools.
We started a program to maintain the coolant PH between 8.0 and 8.5. This
eliminated machine rust problems and operator rash problems but not
necessarily odor
Many moons ago, but sure we did experience some bad allergy reactions from
cutting fluid. Some fluids are prone bacteria growth and if the system
isn't cleaned regularly you may end up with a biohazard de luxe.
Don't ask me how I know, but the sanitation of 25 machines sized workshop

In some oils there are PAHs polyaromatic hydrocarbons and these have
been linked to some forms of cancer

reading about Creosot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creosote I found
there is difference in chemical properties between
The smell of many coolants make me feel nauseous, and that stuff surely
gets to the liver if on your skin
Have a look at this stuff. I haven't used it myself but intend to.

I learned cutting fluid could be unhealthy. Anyone here have any experience?

I understand the problem has been that soluble cutting oil tends to
drench the operator at waist level (on older machines which do not have
total enclosures). That led

First thing I think about is ordinary cooking oil. It might not have the
best performance but as it is more or less just a little bit of hobby
machining unless to bad this is not very important, it is more important
