Airbrush: Health Warnings

  • When spraying, use an effective dust or particle mask, approved by NIOSH.
  • Airbrush in enclosed area as spray particles are airborne and will travel widely.
  • Airbrush enclosure should have adequate ventilation, with vent for incoming air and fan exhaust.

  • Read paint label. Cadmium pigments are toxic in mist (spray) and are considered to be potentially cancer causing if inhaled. They should be avoided in spray technique. Liquitex Cadmium Hues are non-toxic in mist and can be used in place of Cadmium colors for spray applications.
  • Always keep the work areas clean of airbrush overspray. Do not eat or smoke in the studio.
