Are you a DIY'er? Know the chemicals you're using and their dangers by going to the site below. When we work with stripping and refinishing chemicals at our shop we have OSHA approved ventilation, masks, and clothing. We dispose of our chemicals in a way that will not harm the environment (recycling and incineration).
