Welding Fumes And The Associated Hazards

Image
When metals are heated and melted, welding processes produce welding fumes, a mixture of gases, vapours, and particulate matter that includes microscopic solid particles like metal oxides and welding flux as well as gases like nitrogen oxides, ozone, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. Welders and others working nearby run the danger of health problems from inhaling these welding fumes. Without proper protection, prolonged welding fume exposure can cause a number of health concerns, such as respiratory troubles, eye and skin irritation, lung damage, cancer, neurological disorders, and metal fume fever. We’ll talk about each one of them in detail in the blog below. Respiratory problems The respiratory system, including the nose, throat, and lungs, might get irritated as a result of welding fume inhalation. Short-term exposure might result in symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and breathing problems. But, chronic respiratory illnesses including bronchitis, asthma, or occupat

Air Filtration – Saving Millions Of Lives!

Thousands of people lose their lives to breathing. 20,000 people have been reported to die prematurely every day on average as a result of contaminated air! As per the data from the World Health Organization, 99% of the world's population is breathing air that is polluted. This means that no matter where we live, what we do for a living, or whether we breathe indoors or outside, it has an impact on us. Most of the time, the air we breathe is not clean. In fact, India has been reported to be one of the hardest-hit countries, one that is most impacted by air pollution in terms of mortality. Evidence demonstrating how air pollution affects people's health has grown significantly in recent years. This is why, and following a thorough analysis of the available data, the WHO cut its recommended limits for air pollution in half in its most recent report on air quality. Today, along with climate change, which is influenced by air quality, air pollution is one of the biggest environment

Oil Mist Preventative Maintenance – 7 Easy Steps

Image
  In order to guarantee efficient operation and longevity of machinery and equipment, oil mist prevention and maintenance checks are crucial. Oil mist is a prevalent issue in many industrial workplaces, which may endanger your health and result in explosions or flames. It’s crucial to take action to lessen oil mist at work if you operate machine tools. You must thus keep in mind the following points for effective oil mist preventative maintenance. Lubrication system maintenance To stop the development of oil mist, lubrication systems must be properly maintained. Make sure that the lubricating systems are operating properly and are free of leaks and obstructions. To guarantee appropriate lubrication, keep an eye on oil levels, pressures, and flow rates. Regular Inspection Check the machinery and equipment often for any indications of oil mist collection or leakage. This includes looking around for any oil streaks, oil residue, or oil mist. Determine probable oil mist emission sources, s

5 Facts About Fume Extraction Arms You Must Know

Image
To ensure the safety of machine workers, fume extraction systems are installed to capture and regulate welding fumes, smoke, and other airborne contaminants. To prevent overexposure to the smoke and fumes produced during welding and other machining processes, fume extractors are available in a variety of configurations, and are also provided with additional fume extraction arms. Fume extraction arms are designed for collecting the smoke and fumes that are directly above the welding arc. An exhaust hood and blower are used in this kind of source capture system to extract and draw contaminated air into a controlled filtering system, where it is cleansed and either expelled outside, away from the factory, or back into the facility. Fume arms, a form of source capture device, are extremely efficient at reducing welding fumes and other air contaminants while consuming less energy. Fume extraction arms are a great option for a variety of applications since they are simple to mount to ceiling
