Exposure to spray foam

[DeCorps]

Our house addition was mid-spray with closed cell foam insulation when my wife and I stopped by and workers were on break, so there was no active spraying, but we were inside for about 20 minutes and now my wife's anxious about health risks like asthma from that short exposure, there are no symptoms yet, but should we worry?

If spraying had stopped and the foam was curing, the risk from fumes is lower but not zero. Short exposure like that usually doesn't cause lasting harm, though sensitive individuals might react. If the area wasn't ventilated, you might crack a few windows and keep an eye out for any symptoms just to be safe.

Man!!! Being inside during closed-cell foam spraying even for 20 minutes is no minor exposure. The chemicals released can irritate lungs and trigger long-term issues like asthma. It's not just paranoia; proper ventilation and protective gear are essential, don't brush it off as harmless...but how are you guys now?
