THE PROBLEMS OF FUMES IN WELDING

This paper was presented at the Canadian Welding Society's Seminar on Health and Safety. This lecture has in part been previously presented in issues of Svetsaren (Nos. 3/74 and 1/77). However constant discussion and development is occurring in the field of environmental problems of fumes in welding. Therefore a presentation of this lecture using the originally prepared paper and slides will no doubt prove interesting reading to welding engineers, welders and last but not least students of welding in the engineering and shipbuilding industries. The paper deals with fume generation, classification, application of standards, choice of electrodes and selection of the appropriate type fume extraction unit.
