| The welding process produces smoke that you can visibly see- this smoke contains metal fume and gas by-products. Welding fume can contain Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Silver, Tin, Titanium, Vanadium, Zinc. As well as Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide or Nitric Oxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, Phosgene, Hydrogen Fluoride, Carbon Dioxide. Exposure to these fumes may be affected by a variety of factors such as the type of welding process, the base metal and filler metals used, welding rod composition, worksite location, personal work practices, air movement, and use of ventilation controls. The health affects of exposure to welding fumes can be serious if not properly diluted or extracted! They can result in eye, nose and throat irritation. They can also cause dizziness and nausea. Prolonged exposure may cause lung damage and cancer. And if that’s not enough to worry, certain fumes may cause metal fume fever, stomach ulcers, kidney damage and nervous system damage, or even Parkinson’s–like symptoms. Gases like helium, argon, and carbon dioxide displace oxygen in the air, potentially leading to suffocation if welding in confined or tightly enclosed spaces. A great way to prevent these adverse affects is to invest in a fume extractor. Ace Industrial Products has tons of options for convenient and effective fume extractors at affordable prices. The 73-200M Portable Fume Extractor and the 73-701 Mobile Fume Extractor are two of our favorites from their line!
