Toxicology is the study of the nature and
the toxicity mechanism of materials on
living organisms. This definition includes
also the measurement of the severity and
the frequency of the effects in relation
to the degree of exposure of the organisms
considered. A material can be toxic
for man as for the environment.

Toxicology: Ceramics, Glass, and Metallurgy
Bastarache Edouard.
A compilation of all the information currently
available about the toxicity and hazardous
effects of over 60 chemicals commonly
used by potters, glass artists, and metal workers.
Each chemical is identified by it's chemical
formula and common names. Uses and
emission sources, preventative measures,
exposure controls, fire-fighting measures,
and accidental spill clean-up are covered,
as well as signs of poisoning, effects on
pregnancy, and the effects of long-term
exposure. A must have for any professional
potter, teacher, or studio manager.
Written by The Potters Shop’s technical staff.

Thank you so much for sending the books
with Michel. They are amazingly thorough
and fill an important void in my library.
As both potter and educator very concerned
with the use of materials it is great to have
them. I have known about them for some
years, but, as Iwill soon be slowing down
on the teaching end of things, hadn't got
around to getting them.
When Michel was coming for a visit and
sometimes works in your studio, it seemed
like an ideal time to add them to my library.
Much appreciated, thank you.

Hello Edouard,

I received your book yesterday and I thank
you so much. I have not had yet the time
to read it but a first glance lets me see all
of its importance. You must have put in it
an enormous amount of work to gather all
this information, and it is exactly the type
of work I like to discover and recommend
to my visitors.
Thank you again and congratulations.

Hello Edouard,

Your book, "Toxicology Ceramic Glass and
Metallurgy" is an essential tool to the
community. It is not the fruit of luck, it shows
your great capacity to understand the needs
of all of those who work in these fields.

I found your book in my mail box when we
arrived from vacationing. Thank you very much,
this spiral bound very thick book contains a
great deal of current knowledge on toxic
elements, the initialtive to diffuse it will help
many professionals to avoid the worst in
bringing them this essential knowledge.

I started to look at your book, it is a monument,
I have hours of reading in front of me. Bravo for
this work which will largely benefit ceramists
from all around the world. I think that you are
the first to undertake such a work of information.

Hi Ed,

I am happy to count myself among those
who own both your ceramics books.
These are two very useful works for
the professionals and amateurs of
ceramics as for those of the industries
who use these materials and substances.
Easy to consult and containing extremely
useful information to succeed in ceramics
while being coherent with well presented
health information at the reach of all
on the toxicology of materials and substances.
A simple manuscript presentation allowing
to quickly find one’s way and to go from
reference to reference.
I would say that it is the image of a simple
man able to deal with complex things and
to put them at the reach of all by a well
adapted communication without forgetting
his role as a health professional.
I think that throughout your life, you often
times used your remarkable sense of
observation in order to understand, solve
and pose the right gestures.
I could still say much more about you Ed,
especially your “large heart” in wanting
to help which I had the occasion to
appreciate throughout my career.
Do not give up Ed, keep on writing .

"Toxicology Ceramics Glass and Metallurgy",
a book terribly missing in our data bases on
the hazards of materials used in ceramics
and in the trades of the “arts of fire”.
With this resource, industrialists and craftpersons
will know more and be able to behave with
full knowledge in choosing the precautions
to be taken to avoid hazards due to the
chemicals used in their trade. For the
preservation of the health of women and
men, and of our environment, the possession
of this book seems essential.

Good evening Edouard,

Thank you so much for the book I received
today. It looks to me an essential tool in a
workshop.

Isabelle,
Ceramist in St-Hilaire,

Dear Edouard,

I wandered a little on your site... You are a
famous ceramist. It is impressive. What else
to say. Good thrower and then all that you
give to the finishing, to the techniques of
firing, to health, all, do people know that
this is really something... in any case, me,
I find that it is really something...

Soon,
Isabelle

Edouard,

On Monday, I was preparing booklets for
annual distribution and review to our
employees here at PSH detailing the
Workplace Hazardous Materials
Information System (WHMIS). This year,
your new book has been included in the
booklet as the go-to reference for
information on ceramic materials.
Thanks again for bringing it to market.
(12/15/2006)
Your book isn't just another pottery book.
It's unique, should be of interest to all
serious potters, and is worth the price.

Miscellaneous :

ED, you are not only a scientist, you are also
an artist, what you make is really very beautiful,
it is art. You are already regarded as a pioneer
and a personality in the scientific field of
Occupational Health and Safety, just as in
the experimental development of the use
of combined substances, the manufacture
and the firing of pottery of unequalled colors
and also with your books in several languages
and your exhibitions throughout the world.
Scientists and personalities of world fame
talk with you and regard you as one of them.
Do not give up, your glory comes down on us

Message from Smart.Conseil :
Jean-Jacques is right, you are an artist!!!
Medicine and Ceramics, that would certainly
have pleased Robert Moisand (one of our
famous industrial earthenware manufacturers
I knew well, he passed away less than
10 years ago) to meet with you, he who
liked to say that Medicine and Ceramics
were arts where the greatest minds are
found.
You, you combine both!!!

My gosh Edouard,

you have contributed such a vast amount of
great information to the art and science of
clay work that I truly respect and admire
your dedication and love for the craft.
Never mind trying to figure out just how
the heck you find the time to do all that
you do...."

Hello Great Guru!

After surfing the Net in all directions, writing
heaps of articles on ceramics and toxicology,
and communicating regularly on Clayart, it
is normal that you end up being classified in
the category of "Ceramics gurus"...
Beautiful recognition, a real down to earth Guru
who knows what he is talking about and who
has lots of practical experience
It is fantastic. Keep on the good work

You are on the way of canonization on Clayart!!

discussion among such glaze gurus have Ron
Roy and Edouard Bastarache.... (Jeff Zamek:
