[QUOTE="tiarakiyoshi, post: 78423, member: 924"] Weighing in as a toxicology student. The previously suggested asbestos test is an excellent idea. If the lining of the bowl tests positive for asbestos then you should be concerned. You would only have to worry about scraping off the fibers if you or someone else scratched the inside of the bowl. This could easily be minimized with care and a good cleaning/blowout. Consider adding a filtering apparatus. A good activated charcoal filter can catch particles within asbestos size ranges. Would the government advise you to smoke out/breathe through this device? No, the dangers of tobacco smoke notwithstanding. Would I? Yes, but infrequently just in case. If you wanted to be unwarrantedly careful you would be certain not to inhale and rinse out your mouth immediately afterward. But if you were that concerned about toxic substances I doubt you'd be smoking in the first place. [/QUOTE]
