The Pollyeuathane foam at the back of the vinyl decomposes and breaks into a fine dust which causes allergic reactions which can be acute. This nearly cost the lives of myself and my crew on a trip, all 4 had allergic reactions. If it had not been for the Epirb,the excellent Rescue services of Brazil, the vessels who picked us up and the superb Brazillian medical services we would have died. I had chemical Pneumonia and severe odeama of the epiglotis. More at risk are those who smoke and those who have had a history of asthma (like me) or other lung problems.
