Abstract
Copper or any of its alloying additions (e.g. Cd, Zn) can be evolved into the welding workshop atmosphere, particularly during open arc welding. The most potentially toxic can be identified by low Threshold limit Value ratings. A general guide is given to the nature of pollutants encountered in various welding processes. Typical fume removal procedures (ventilation, extraction) are discussed.
