What harm does welding cause to the body

The main injuries to the body caused by welding include pneumoconiosis, damage to the skin and damage to eyesight.

1. Pneumoconiosis: There is usually a lot of smoke and dust in the working environment of welders, and toxic gases are also produced during the work process. If they are in this working environment for a long time, it is possible to cause pulmonary fibrosis, that is, pneumoconiosis. Therefore, welders should try their best to ensure that the working environment is ventilated and breathable. They can also wear dust masks to reduce the inhalation of smoke and toxic gases into the lungs.

2. Damage to the skin: Welders are exposed to arcs during work, and the temperature of these arcs is extremely high, and most of them are ultraviolet rays. If you do not pay attention to personal protection, it is possible to burn the skin, causing skin peeling. It may also cause melanin to deposit on the surface of the skin, resulting in spots and affecting the beauty of the skin. Therefore, you must wear a welding helmet and work clothes during work.

3. Damage to eyesight: The arc light generated during the welder's work is very irritating, especially to the eyes, causing redness, pain, and tearing of the eyes, and even impaired vision. Therefore, a mask must be used during work to reduce damage to the facial skin and eyesight.

Han Gong usually drinks more water and eats more fruits and vegetables high in vitamins, which can help clear the lungs.
