I hope that the manufacturers of mouthpieces take into consideration the health and welfare of their employees. The microscoptic aerosol bits that result from cutting turniing grinding and polishing are a health hazard to the workers making the mouthpiece and others around them. There are other metals that are as dangerous when inhaled. And dust masks, annoyingly referred to as "respirators", are virtually useless for protection. The Romans were aware of the inherent danger of lead way back when, though they tended to ignore it. Contemporary manufactorers should take a pro-active approach to employee and end user safety. Would you let your child or pet eat paint chips?
