As a result, dust containing thorium can be absorbed into the body through inhalation or ingestion, meaning that radioactive substances may be incorporated into the body causing damage to health.- a risk of injuries because the metal sheets have very sharp edges.The product does not comply with the Directive 90/396/EEC on appliances burning gaseous fuels.
