IntroImmediate symptomsfrom exposure to welding fumes• Eye and skin irritation• Nausea• Headache• Dizziness• Metal fume feverChronic insidious, injuries on• Respiratory tract and lungs(including lung cancer)• The central nervous system(Parkinson’s Disease etc)Did you know?• 100 years after the invention of the arc shield, eye injuriescontinue to be one of the most common acute injuriessuffered by welders.• Welders run a 40 % greater risk than other professionalgroups of being affected by lung cancer because of theirworking environment.*• Welders who smoke need more respiratory protection thannon-smokers.**• In some municipalities, authorities have set their own airquality standards for the city at large. By comparison, thestandards for welding environments can be up to 100 timeslower (that is, worse than) the city’s standards. What doesthis mean for the welder? Well, take for example the OEL(Occupational Exposure Limit) for zinc oxide, which is 5mg/m3. Even if you’re within this OEL, you inhale up to 11grams of zinc oxide every year.**** US Department of Health & Human Services (NIOSH) Pub. No. 88-110p iii. ** Spring 1997 (Vol.12#1) issue of Liaison, The newsletter of the Occupational and EnvironmentalMedical Association of Canada. *** Under normal working conditions the respiratory rate is about 20 litres of air/minute. Over a working year (100%), a welder breathes inabout 2300 m 3 of air. Under working conditions with 5 mg/m 3 of welding particles in the air, a welder breathes in 11 grams of particles/year.
