Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing respiratory conditions may be aggravated by exposure to welding fumes. Allergies.
Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation of welding fumes. Skin contact. Eyes. Ingestion. General Welding Statement Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Heat rays (Infrared Radiation) from flame or hot metal can injure eyes. Noise can damage
Potential health effects
Eyes May cause the following effects:. Redness. Tearing. Irritation. Skin Skin Irritation. _______________________________________________ Page 1 / 4 Short term overexposure to welding fumes may result in dizziness, nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. Long term exposure may lead to iron deposits in the lungs and is believed by some investigators to affect pulmonary function. Inhalation of copper oxide fumes can cause metal fume fever. Initial symptoms of metal fume fever can include sweating, shivering, headache, fever, chills, thirstiness, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and tiredness . Chronic exposure to high levels of manganese dust and fumes can cause nervous system disorders, pneumonitis (inflammation of lung tissue), and may cause fibrosis (scarring of lung tissue) and reproductive disorders in males . Chronic exposure to inert dusts of silicon can cause increased airway resistance and contributes to chronic bronchitis . Long term overexposure to nickel compounds may cause lung fibrosis, edema or pneumoconiosis. Ingestion Irritation of the gastrointestinal system.
