Welding smoke is typically loaded with metal fumes. If you are welding mild steel, the fumes are not that bad because iron is not particularly toxic. Welding chrome or stainless steel can release some fairly dangerous fumes such as nickel and hexavalent chromium. Using an appropriate respirator or getting sufficient ventilation can provide protection.

Are emissions from welding dangerous?

Emissions from welding can be heat, light, sparks, slag, and smoke. Each one can be hazardous. Work clothes, leather gloves, and boots can help protect you from heat, light, sparks, and slag. A welding helmet with the correct shade lens will protect your face and eyes from heat, light, sparks and some of the smoke. A means to remove the smoke is very important. Inhaling it can cause long term lung problems. The light can be especially dangerous to your eyes and anyone that is exposed to it. It can blind you.
