The Effectiveness of Welding Fume Product Controls

Countless studies have concluded that welding fume is bad for health, yet very few actually provide practical guidance on how to effectively control welding fume exposure... until now. This introductory video examines different welding fume product control methods such as On-Gun Fume Extraction, Hooded Capture Extraction, and Welding Helmets with a Powered Air Purifying Respirator, and compares their effectiveness based on data from an independent scientific study. The White Paper on this study can be downloaded from the White Papers tab above.
