OZONE EMISSIONS DURING ARC WELDING PT 1 - FORMATION AND MEASUREMENT

Several studies have demonstrated that, under certain conditions, gas shielded arc welding may give rise to ozone levels which exceed the permitted limits defined by Occupational Exposure Standards. Exposure to ozone can adversely affect the health of welding personnel. This article outlines how ozone forms during gas shielded arc welding, how it is measured in the working environment and the major factors affecting the level of ozone generated.
