Not true, nor is it something to dismiss as "perfectly safe". Expensive is relative. I spent around$400 for a fresh air system. You'll drop that for one er visit. I've been painting cars since the 80's. Catalyzed paints are dangerous, period. Your risk tolerance may be greater than some, but it's irresponsible to dismiss the danger. I'm sensitized to iso's after the exposure I've had. Not bad but I have minor effects if I am around it unprotected. I wear a supplied air hood, tyvek suit, and gloves when I paint. The iso's will enter your system thru your eyes and skin also, FYI. Funny you mention nuclear waste, my company is in the nuclear business, and I use their personal protection equipment when I paint at work. IMHO, they are very similar.
