Glass fiber insulation is generally not considered dangerous, but long-term exposure to glass wool damages human health, and a lot of glass fibers float during construction or after aluminum foil is damaged. Glass fiber can seriously damage air quality and harm human health. Pathological examination of lung biopsy of workers exposed to glass fiber for a long time showed that there were glass fiber dust cell foci, mild proliferation of colloid cells, lung cancer, and lung abscess in the lung tissue. People who have been exposed to glass fibers for a long time may suffer from conjunctivitis and keratitis, and in severe cases, corneal opacity and local abscess may be seen.
