4. NTP National Toxicology Program lists as posing a cancer risk to humans Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin Skin cancer has been reported Electric Shock can kill If welding must be performed in damp locations or with wet clothing on metal structures or when in cramped positions such as sitting kneeling or lying or if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with workpiece use the following equipment Semiautomatic DC Welder DC Manual Stick Welder or AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control Section VII Reactivity Data Hazardous Decomposition Products Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded the process procedure and electrodes used Other conditions which also influence the composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed include coatings on the metal being welded such as paint plating or galvanizing the number of welders and the volume of the worker area the quality and amount of ventilation the position of the welder s head with respect to the fume plume as well as the presence of contaminants in the atmosphere such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities When the electrode is consumed the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listed in Section III Decomposition products of normal ope
5. c arc welding may create one or more of the following health hazards Fumes and Gases can be dangerous to your health Common entry is by inhalation Other possible routes are skin contact and ingestion Short term acute overexposure to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as metal fume fever dizziness nausea or dryness or irritation of nose throat or eyes May aggravate pre existing respiratory problems e g asthma emphysema Long term chronic overexposure to welding fumes can lead to siderosis iron deposits in lung and may affect pulmonary function Manganese overexposure can affect the central nervous system resulting in impaired speech and movement Bronchitis and some lung fibrosis have been reported Manganese present in fumes from this material may also affect the central nervous system resulting in poor coordination difficulty in speaking and tremor of arms or legs Condition is considered irreversible Repeated exposure to fluorides may cause excessive calcification of the bone and calcification of ligaments of the ribs pelvis and spinal column May cause skin rash Overexposure to crystalline silica present in dust from this material can cause severe lung damage silicosis Respiratory overexposure to airborne crystalline silica is known to cause silicosis a form of disabling pulmonary fibrosis which can be progressive and may lead to death Crystalline silica is on the IARC International Agency for Research on Cancer and
