Arc rays may react with solvents and heat to form phosgene gas, which is highly toxic.

What is Arc Welding?

Arc  Welding, a most common type of welding  which is the process where  metals are joined together by the application of  electric arc( Here, metal(acting as a filler) and the work piece are  being heated to form the  weld).

Other processes apart from electric arc in welding process includes:

  • pressure
  • heat
  • flame .

Most Welding process are harmful  because of the:

  • Generation of welding fumes  by cadmium, zinc oxide, or lead metals.
  • Release of  toxic gases such as  Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxides, Cadmium, and Ozone.

One notable health hazards in addition to metal fumes and toxic gases, is the production of Phosgene.

This occurs when arc welding is done near solvents containing Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, this is because  ultraviolet light may fall incident on the arc, this arc rays  can react with the solvents to form Phosgene, a gas that is deadly even in minute amounts.
