Besides the obvious pulmonary problems with any airborne dust, I have read that aluminum has been connected to alzheimer's. This includes exposure from cooking in aluminum pans, etc. Why don't you google it and report back?

Being both poor and cheap, I have a large box fan next to my machine with a furnace filter taped over the intake side - it catches a lot of the lint and dust. But anyone who doesn't wear at least a cartridge respirator (not a dust mask) is a fool.
