*703 Owens Corning* Safe to sleep in the room?

ssinisterra · 9th January 2012

Hi, I just purchased 8 bass traps made of 4' 703 Owens Corning insulation and I placed them in my room/studio. Is it safe to sleep in the same room with fiberglass in the room? I covered them with fabric before I put them up and even left the original fabric underneath (see pic).

Also, I just built a DIY diffuser made out of multiple 1' by 3/4' MDF sticks of varying length sticking out from a peg board (see pic). Is it safe to sleep in the same room as that as well? Should I seal the sticks with something?

I only ask because I'm a singer with a recent history of crappy health issues and I want to know the full info. I've googled away to find mostly opinions and not facts about both 703 and MDF.

Any worthwhile info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Also, that diffuser looks like you just stuck random pieces together. Did you actually calculate the correct way to place them? That could actually be severely hurting your room.
