health and safety

Hi All, Large sections of my bedroom wall (external) had blown plaster. I think that it’s a case of many years of non breathable paint and a modern skim coat had basically suffocated the wall. It’s a lime pointed solid wall, with internal lime render. Anyway, I’ve decided to strip it all off...

Hi, I want to use a large amount of mdf for utility shelving and wall covering however I dont want to paint it. I just want to cut it and put it up. Is it safe to do this. I have read that mdf may be dangerous - chemicals, formaldehyde etc. Is it really that bad once cut and installed? thanks...
