Welding Fumes Collection Solutions, Industrial Dust Collectors
Exposure Risks for Welding Fumes. Weld fumes are a particularly dangerous inhalation risk because of their small particulate sizes. The intense heat created by a welding arc turns welding wire and small amounts of base metal into extremely small particulates, roughly 0.1 to 0.5 microns across. For comparison, a human hair is 100 microns across.
