I repair machines that make microchips. flaking from tools is a very real concern as it will destroy chips and contaminate the chemistry of the process chamber. technicians as myself are not allowed to wear jewelry of any kind or metal framed eyeglasses for these reasons.
obviously bicycle mechanics is not nearly as susceptible to fm.
