: luck, man, I'll be praying for you.

Blast suit/helmet, imported air.. not respirators. I'd be naive to suggest
that a prolonged career in blasting wouldn't take it's toll on one's health
but I believe the company I worked for spared no expense to provide a safe
environment. I have sympathy for others in the field wearing no more than
paper masks and painters suits.

How is this for irony;
Smoking in the blast booth was strictly prohibited and grounds for
disciplinary actions. Why, you ask? Because the air in the booth was
contaminated from blasting and could result in respiratory problems... we
were encouraged to smoke in the lunch room.

I sleep well at night knowing that any damage to lungs from blasting has
been thoroughly masked by 20+ years of smoking.
