Welding fumes and gasses possess various health effects which can result in eyes, throat, nose irritation, nausea, and dizziness. In addition, prolonged exposure to toxic particulates may cause lung damages, and various cancers which include larynx, lung, and urinary tract. Occupational exposure regulations are designed, and have been imposed by various regulatory bodies to avoid health issues caused during the welding process. These regulatory bodies include OSHA PEL, REACH, Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Guidelines, ACGIH TLV, ISO 15011-4:2006 and others.
Welding applications differ according to scope, size, and other variables. Therefore, proper evaluation of multiple variables is necessary for selection of the equipment. This leads in reducing downtime, product contamination, and provide better working environment. In addition, manufacturing of efficient fume extraction equipment has been a significant concern, especially in North America and Europe owing to recent occupational exposure health issues faced by the operators. Stringent regulations about the occupational exposure for operators is expected to significantly influence the global welding industry in the coming years which in turn is anticipated to increase the demand for fume extraction equipment.
