Welding Fumes. HSE has issued a safety alert about the health risks of welding fume. In this article we present the protocol for a systematic review of parameters for estimating the number.
What types of fumes and gases are produced during welding. Fumes are airborne particles small enough to be inhaled and are produced in all welding and cutting operations. Welding fumes consist of metallic oxides generated by the heating of metal being welded the welding rod or its coatings.
Welding Fumes a Risk Factor for Lung Diseases.
Fumes are created during the welding process in the form of fine particles after the metal you are working on gets heated above its boiling point and starts to release vapors. Fumes are created during the welding process in the form of fine particles after the metal you are working on gets heated above its boiling point and starts to release vapors. Welding fumes are made of very small and thus easily inhaled solid particles that come from welding consumables base metals and base metal coatings. Some of the frequently observed diseases resulting from exposure to welding fumes and gases were discussed in Section 61221.
