Exhaust to the outside, you’ll be fine.

If you breath too much of most things it can be bad for you

I think I have read that crome tanned is not only bad for you but also bad for the laser.

Would your husband be willing to talk? I’d love to ask him a question or two about engraving chrome tanned leather. Thanks.
