The composition end quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being melded, the process, procedures and electrodes used. Other conditions which also Influence the composition and quantity of the fuses and gases to which workers may be exposed Include: coatings on the metal being welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), nunber of welds and volume of work area, quality and amount of ventilation, position of welder's head with respect to the fume plune, as well as the presence of contaminants In the atm-"K"-e (such as chlorinated hwdrncarhnn vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities. When the electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products are dlffererent in percent and form from the Ingredients listed In Section II. Fune and gas decomposition products, not the Ingredients In the electrode, are Important. Decomposition products Include those orlqlnattno from the volatilization, reac tion, or oxidation of the materials shown In Section II plus those from base metal, coating, etc. as noted above. These components are virtually always present as complex compounds and not as metals (Characterization of Arc Welding Fume: American Welding Society). Reasonably expected fuse constituents from these products would include: complex oxides of iron, manga nese, silicon, copper, and in the case of Spoolarc 87 (AWS ER6090-2), molybdenum. Caseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from the arc. One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fines and gases to which workers are exposed is to take an air sample inside the welders helmet, if worn, or in the worker's breathing zone.

SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA Threshold Limit Valuei The ACCIH reconmended general limit for welding fume HOC (Not Otherwise Classified) is b mg/Mi. Ihe ACCIH 1984-85 preface states: "The TLV-TWA should be used as guides In the control of health hazards and should not be used as firm lines between safe and dangerous concentrations." See Section V for specific fune constituents wnicn may modify this TLV. Effects of Overexposure: FUNE5 AND CASES can be dangerous to your health. SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness, nausea, or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes. LONC TERM (CHRONIC' OVEREXPOSURE may lead to slderosls (iron deposits In the lung) and is believed by some investigators to affect pulmonary function. ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin, fir^rmc SHOCK can kill. Sec Section "II. Emergency 8 First Aid Procedures: Call for medical aid.

See American National Standard Z-49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting, published by the American Welding Society, P.0. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135 and OSHA Publication 2206 (29 C.F.R. 1910), U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 for more detail on many of the following: Ventilation: Use enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fuses and gases below the ilv's In the worker's breathing zone and the general area. Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes. Respiratory Protection: Use respirable fune respirator or air supplies respirator when welding in confined space or wnere local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below TLV. Eye Protection: Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. As a rule of thumb, start with a shade which is too dark to see the weld zone. Then go to the next lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, If necessary, to shield others. Protective Clothing: Wear head, hand and body protection which help to prevent injury from radlaton, sparks and electrical shock. See ANSI Z-49.1. At a minimum, this Includes welder's gloves and a proteclve face shield and may Include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as dark substantial cloth ing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to Insulate hlmslf from work and ground. Procedure for Cleanup of Spills or Leaks: NOT APPLICABLE Watte Dispose) Method: Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment.
