Determination of Toxic Gas or Vapor Concentrations

Substances that may emerge as raw materials, intermediates or finished products as a result of various processes in work environments are not harmful to human health, but can be irritating at high concentrations. In particular, prolonged breathing of air contaminated with these substances can cause serious illness and death.

In working environments where welding and cutting operations are carried out, toxic gases, smoke, metal vapors and particles may enter the air. These substances cause serious damage to the human respiratory tract. Chromium, nickel, arsenic, asbestos (asbestos), manganese, silicon, beryllium, cadmium, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxide chloride (phosgene), acroline, fluorine (fluorine) compounds, carbon monoxide, cobalt, copper, lead, ozone, which can be found in welding fumes Substances such as selenium and zinc are poisonous and harmful.

According to the Regulation on Health and Safety Precautions in Working with Chemical Substances in Work Environments, “The employer is obliged to take all necessary measures to prevent the exposure of employees to these substances, when this is not possible, to minimize it when working with chemical substances, and to protect employees from the dangers of these substances.”

Determination of Toxic Gas or Vapor Concentrations should be carried out by accredited and authorized laboratories, by experienced employees, in appropriate standards and methods.
