rod. Sme investigators- have found charactcrisiic markings on chest x-rays of men who have welded under severe condition^ fo r long periods of tme. These markings are presumably due to the deposition of iron .fumes within the. lungs, but it has not been demonstrated that such fumes have caused physical impairment.
A frequently- suggested limit for
welding- fume is 15 milligrams of iron
oxiile per pubic meter of air. Con
centrations of this magnitude existing
in the workroom-would materially re
duce visibility and thereby become a
nuisance or an unsafe condition re
quiring correction. `
' '
Welding within confined areas such aa tanks, inside, machinery or equip ment. or ha- small rooms presents a condition,;.'which, con be o f concern. The concentration of fame is materi ally higher under- these conditions as there is little opportunity for dilution by natural air currents normally, pres ent in a large shop. Nitrogen oxides formed by the electric arc when in haled in sufficient quantities causes fluida to form in the lung--edema--
cadinium fume- in; air is 1 milligram
per 10 cubic meters of air.
Resistance, spoti or butt wedding of
plain steel is of no concern from the
physiological standpoint. The fumes
arising from such operations general
ly are caused by the volatilized oil
, which has come upon the metal stock
during previous operations or has
been placed upon the metal as a rust
preventive.;';-',;/
;-
The preceding- discussion of weld
ing operations has been based upon
the assumption that the metal, being
welded are of plain steel. The per
formance of welding operations, ei
ther. arc, gas, ;o r: resistance, upon . metals which have been coated with
such toxic materials as lead, cadmi, urn, or mercury may cause harmful
exposures. The heat of the fiejne or or t}:e arc causes vola'dllzaLon of these motis. Welding or cutting of terne plate or other metals containing significant quantities of lead can re sult in the volatilization of lead fume,
which if inhaled for a sufficient peri od of time, may result in lead absorp-
