Been having a weird cough ever since our company started working with this new composite plastic, boss is blocking our safety advisor from doing air quality tests. Can i have it tested myself? Don’t care if it costs me hundreds, my lungs are irreplaceable.

Normally our panels are made with 2 layers of thin aluminum, but recently one side has become this weird kind of fiber reinforced plastic. There was NO information about this new material, none of our machine's dust collector filter bags were updated or replaced. I've noticed I've been having these weird wheezing cough bouts lately. I might be mildly asthmatic tho, but I'm still worried. We have a union, but our boss blocks anything they try in any way he can, it's a small company. I'm also not in the US btw. Is it possible to test the air here myself? I've read that this kind of dust can cause something called silicosis, which is fucking terrifying!
