Arc rays may react with solvents and heat to form phosgene gas, which is highly toxic.
What is Arc Welding?
Arc Welding, a most common type of welding which is the process where metals are joined together by the application of electric arc( Here, metal(acting as a filler) and the work piece are being heated to form the weld).
Other processes apart from electric arc in welding process includes:
- pressure
- heat
- flame .
Most Welding process are harmful because of the:
- Generation of welding fumes by cadmium, zinc oxide, or lead metals.
- Release of toxic gases such as Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxides, Cadmium, and Ozone.
One notable health hazards in addition to metal fumes and toxic gases, is the production of Phosgene.
This occurs when arc welding is done near solvents containing Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, this is because ultraviolet light may fall incident on the arc, this arc rays can react with the solvents to form Phosgene, a gas that is deadly even in minute amounts.
