Plymovent doesn't think so! - “Complying with welding fume regulations doesn’t guarantee a safe working environment,” says Michel Ligthart, Product and International Sales Manager at Plymovent. He identifies three trends to raise awareness about the dangers of welding fumes among welders. “The current legislation is far from perfect.”
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), welding fumes are confirmed as being carcinogenic. To prevent your personnel from exposure to risks to their health, it's important to install an air purification system that delivers high quality. That quality depends on the filter, or the 'lungs' of the system. What risks do you run if you use an incorrect (replacement) filter? Michel Ligthart, Product and International Sales Manager at Plymovent, answers some of the most common questions.
