| General comment | Metal fumes are the byproducts of processes involving the manufacture of metallic materials, application of rust preventative coatings onto steel, and alloying elements such as iron in steel manufacture. They are formed when a metal is heated above its boiling point and its vapours condense into very fine particles. These fumes generally contain particles from the electrode and the material being welded. Exposure to certain metal fumes can cause 'Metal Fume Fever', an occupational health hazard. |
