ReconRat Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Sure enough. Welding fumes can get you many ways.Even a couple of common chemicals under the sink can get you when mixed together.http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/interactionprofiles/ip12.htmlThe 2007 list of the top 275 chemicals that can harm youedit: the other common welding fatality is the cadmium plating on nuts and bolts.When vaporized and inhaled, it's often fatal.Cadmium plating is no longer allowed in aerospace usage, but it's found everywhere else.

jporter12 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I've experienced the heated brake cleaner! Not the welding, causing the fatal gas, but spraying the stuff all over a running engine to clean up after an oil leak. I didn't know it was so dangerous I DO remember that I had trouble breathing for quite a while that day, and actually for the next few days, especially when using brake cleaner (not even heated) for a few weeks. That stuff is NO JOKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) you should never inhale anything other than clean air. and always wear gloves(nitril or latex) when touching any chemical.it will absorb into your skin.we have safety meetings at work to reduce our health insurance and workers compensation payments. some of the stuff we learn about is pretty damn serious that most of us never gave a second thought about before.but you will also be surprised the hospitals can't really do much for you most of the time except try to control your symptoms. in his case, I bet the only thing they could/would have done is gave him some oxygen and monitored his vitals. and let time run it's course.
