![]() ![]() In my shop it was easier to cut a hole in the ceiling than to cut a hole through the wall. That way the fumes pass directly outside without the restrictions & pressure losses of ductwork. The idea of exhausting through a wall or window should work well. ![]() Many of the substances in welding smoke, such as chromium, nickel, arsenic, asbestos, manganese, silica, beryllium, cadmium, nitrogen oxides, phosgene, acrolein, fluorine compounds, carbon monoxide, cobalt, copper, lead, ozone, selenium, and zinc can be extremely toxic. ![]() Welding "smoke" is a mixture of very fine particles (fumes) and gases. Both SMAW & GMAW produce levels of toxic fumes that will (eventually) cause neurological damage. If you oxy-fuel weld or cut, large quantities of CO are generated. I know lots of welders who don't ventilate, but the exposure risks are well documented. It really is subtle, not enough air movement to feel but there is no longer any smoke or haze in the room. Since the room is 4500 cubic feet, 1500 CFM met that sizing guide. I did some reading before sizing the exhaust fan and the suggestions indicated a fan capacity 1/3 of room area.
