Yumdrum,

"2001- The IARC working group revised their previous classification of glass wool being a possible carcinogen. It is currently considered not classifiable as a human carcinogen. Studies done in the past 15 years since the previous report was released, do not provide enough evidence to link this material to any cancer risk."

Again, read the MSDS for sand which is a confirmed carcinogen with a health hazard rating of 3. It's all about perspective. You seem to be risk adverse, so maybe you should reconsider the use of insulation based bass traps.

Best Regards,

Mike.
