Welding fumes in pregnancy?
I have worked in a machine shop with both of my pregnancies, and I never had any trouble. My doctor never said anything about it either, and he knew what I did so I am sure it is fine.
welding fumes which are more in industries is harmful to the health of the people. so, for this purpose most of the industries are using the welding fume extractors which will absorb the welding fumes and completely eliminate the dangerous fumes.Powertech pollution is one of the leading Welding Fume Extractor manufacturer in bangalore, India. The welding fume extractor will eliminate fume from the work environment and safeguards the health of the machines and the employees. For more visit our siteWelding Fume Extractor
Yes welding is bad for your health, the fumes will poison your lungs but the dust from the grinding wheels is worse (fiberglass is thought to be just as bad as asbestos), the heavy use of your hands will cripple them . The awkward positions you have to get into will twist your body up in knots. The extra weight on your neck and all the nodding (to lower your helmet) will ruin the vertebrate in your neck. Not to mention the constant strain on your eyes will ruin them as well. I started in the trade at 17 and worked in it till around 30, I had a couple family members that were welders, both whom died around 50 with hands,back and eyes ruined not to mention strapped to an oxygen bottle for a few years before that. There are many different situations in the welding trade, I've worked outside at -35 Celsius and +35 , inside smoke filled shop's with zero ventilation, It really depends on the employer as to how healthy or unhealthy the environment is, do not sacrifice your health for a job it's just not worth it.
What are the side effects of welding aluminum, such as respiratory?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/aykRe aluminum stick rods are available in various electrode thickness ranges and can be used above 1/8" thickness with an AC machine. The fact that you have an electric machine makes it easier bc the amps and volts stay more consistant than a gas powered unit. I prefer to warm the base metal to about 125 to 150 degrees F prior to welding. Clean the surface area with a STAINLESS STEEL wire brush to remove the oxidation, strike the arc in the normal pattern and then lay the rod back almost parallel with the material and cross arc or long arc against the base metal to allow the material to heat up but not overheat...the weld metal will carry across the arc and drop onto the melted base metal. Good Luck
Will i get sick from urine fumes?
My sister gets drunk all the time and she peed her bed. We share a room.

There are a few things which need care.Zinc is a common hazard and is present in many copper alloys (such as brass) as well as galvanised steel. Zinc is toxic and has a how boiling point so welding zinc-bearing metal can release vapours which are easily absorbed by the body. It is also, like many heavy metals, cumulative so you can be exposed a few times with no ill effects but suddenly have a reaction.Zinc exposure needs to be taken seriously but can be adequately managed by proper ventilation and respiratory protection and proper weld preparation (ie removing the zinc coating from the heat effected zone).The same also goes for many other types of plating and coatings, chromium and nickel are both potentially dangerous, both of which are present in stainless steel although stainless is not generally considered particularly hazardous as long as normal precautions are taken.Another potential issue is lead which can be present in copper alloys and free-machining steels.You also need to be careful of surface contamination from things like, oil, grease, paint etc as this is likely to vaporise or burn during welding and create nasty fumes.In many cases materials which are dangerous to weld need special processes anyway as the same things which are toxic can contaminate the weld itself.Equally anything which involves welding unknown alloys or scrap needs extra caution as it is harder to be sure of the exact makeup of the alloy or what it may have been contaminated with.
Can smelling too much paint make you sick?
If you breathe paint fumes you should not have any damage. Though it is not healthy to be around them if the room is ventilated you should be fine though it is not recommended to be around them for long periods of time. Usual side affect from breathing in paint fumes are: Hallucination, hear things, feel dizzy, feel like you drifting away it is also hard to walk, you feel like your drunk, or your just not your self for a long period of time. If you feel like your about of be literally sick (vomiting) then it's most likely something else. Please remember I am not a doctor so my answer may not be correct.
Inhaling battery acid fumes?
about a week ago i had to replace the battery in my car. after doing that i placed the old one in the floor of my back seat. being that the landfill in my county has idiotic hours, it took me about 3 days carrying it around to be able to get to a place where i could get rid of it. anyway, unbeknown-st to me the old battery was leaking. I did all the normal stuff, soaked it up with a cloth, poured baking soda onto it, let the baking soda sit for about 4 hours, then drove to a car wash, and used their vacuum cleaner to remove the baking soda. it had been there for a few days, and there was definitely some damage done to the floor of the car, but not really worried about that. About 3 days later, started to feel sick, soar throat, congested head, sneezing, etc. Did i just catch a cold, flu, allergies, something like that, or is there some reaction to the acid. dont know if 3 days is too long to be near it or not. thanks.
Welding galvanized steel...Metal fume fever?
Here are some precautions to take: Prevention of metal fume fever in workers who are at potential risk (such as welders) involves avoidance of direct contact with potentially toxic fumes, improved engineering controls (exhaust ventilation systems), personal protective equipment (respirators), and education of workers regarding the features of the syndrome itself and proactive measures which can be taken to prevent its development. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fume_fever Here are the OSHA regulations covering metal fume fever: http://www.osha.gov/dts/chemicalsampling/data/CH_250200.html
