Lead is a metal widely used in the industrial sector, though due to its high level of toxicity in the human body, its use has been gradually reduced. In this post we will talk about the use of lead, its effects on the human body and the symptoms of lead poisoning.
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.
Plymovent – a Dutch company that has been developing complete solutions for welding fume extraction for more than 50 years. One of the most important components of a welding fume extraction system is the filter cartridge, or the ‘lungs’, of the system. What is it that makes Plymovent filters unique? And what certainty can you expect from them? Michel Ligthart, product and international sales manager, tells us what we need to know.

At-source extraction protects workers in the metal industry and prevents the accumulation of welding fumes, oil mist or grinding dust in the workspace. The use of flexible extraction arms is a good method of removing dangerous fumes and dust when working on small or medium sized objects. These arms can be positioned close to the work area to capture toxic fumes, dust particles and remains of molten metal at the source. Capturing fumes and dust at the source also prevents pollution from spreading over the premises, keeping not only machines and tools but also products and offices cleaner.
In previous blogs we have written about protection methods for welders, like extraction arms or hoods for local exhaust ventilation and welding helmets with PAPR units. When you provide your workers with protection equipment, you may think that you have taken the necessary steps to ensure their safety. But how can you be certain that the equipment is working as it should and your workers are not exposed to dangerous levels of carcinogenic fumes?
