Are records dangerous? Response to Benn Jordan.
This video was inspired by an investigation into the health dangers of vinyl records by Benn Jordan. See: th-cam.com/video/aZ2czFuIYmQ/w-d-xo.html
We'll try to reproduce Benn's results by testing the toxicity of vinyl records using air quality meters to measure TVOCs, PM2.5 (small dust particles), and HCHO (formaldehyde). We'll expand on the test run by Benn and also test records for lead residue.

Where do you start? // Learning to Draw
มุมมอง 2427 ปีที่แล้ว
Here are some thoughts on finding a place to start drawing. The fear of starting keeps a lot of us from achieving things we want to achieve. I got over it by focusing on getting through art supplies instead of creating good drawings. This video shows me filling a 100-sheet 18" x 24" newsprint pad with drawings over 8-10 hours. I used charcoal pencils and compressed charcoal sticks. There is a m...

    Interesting response. I was an avid record/music collector for decades - however, regardless of "immediate harms" pressing new albums NOW is ACTIVELY SUPPORTING BIG OIL. That is an unequivocal fact. I don't have children... but we ALL vote for/support industries with our money. So - in the larger picture, knowing what we know, I don't understand the idea of actively supporting big oil in spite of the facts - especially as parents. Your option... their futures. Just my opinion/observations. Cheers.

    Excellent response. We're in this era of click-bait fraudulent TH-cam videos without much of a counterbalance to them. Benn's video was alarming, and reminded me of the blatantly faked Bourbon Moth linseed oil fires. Relying on a musician for health or science advice - or really any sort of wisdom other than chord progressions - is probably a bad idea.

    I read Lead and Cadmium were mixed into the PVC to make vinyl records in the past. That would explain the positive result on the older record. I read it has mostly been phased out. When you play a vinyl record the needle actually very slowly wears down the groove and generates dust on the stylus. If there is lead or cadmium present in the dust this could be concerning as any amount of lead exposure is not good, especially for children.

    i got my super spirograph set for christmas of 1971 when i was 10. it was the most difficult and frustrating gift i ever loved. i got another one in 2011 for my birthday. i was much more adept at using it at 50 than i when i was 10. my set used small push pins to hold the paper to a cardboard backing pad. after much experimentation i found the pentel rsvp pens worked out the best because the ink flowed well but dried quickly enough not to smear.

  • @bernsky
    @bernsky 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    this is where understanding what a significant result is statistically, based on the closeness of your numbers, it seems that there was not a number documented outside of the expected curve. your meter should be tested and calibrated on a known and specified object, just to make sure that it is correct, but i also watched the video and suspected it was an off gassing from the brand new turntable while running, possibly some motor lubricant etc, and not from the vinyl itself. i do agree with benn that environmentally they are illogical, and possibly harmful - but thats not what your addressing.

    Hello, You're not really good with the Spirograph ... it's not complicated ... I think that for lefties you have to turn anti-clockwise ... And above all, hold his pencil vertically !!! the pencil must be perpendicular to the notched wheel in which the tip of the pencil is positioned. And then the best are the stabilo Felt tip pen fine point

  • @Wolfstanus
    @Wolfstanus 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I feel he has an extreme bias and did it to support his bias. Also, when you contaminate the testing area you're supposed to decontaminate it and test to see if equipment is producing interference with with electronic testing devices. Each test should start from sterile and he failed to do that. Vintage vinyl is quite likely to contain cadmium or lead and so new ones do not use these compounds and haven't for a long time
