Blue-light hazard from CO2 arc welding of mild steel Okuno T; Ojima J; Saito HAnn Occup Hyg 2010[Apr]; 54 (3): 293-8OBJECTIVES: The objective was to quantify the blue-light hazard from CO(2) arc welding of mild steel. METHODS: The spectral radiance of arcs in CO(2) arc welding of mild steel was measured for solid and flux-cored wires at welding currents of 120-480 A. Effective blue-light radiance and the maximum acceptable exposure duration were calculated from the spectral radiance using their definitions in American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists guidelines. RESULTS: The effective blue-light radiance ranged from 22.9 to 213.1 Wcm(-2)sr(-1). The corresponding maximum acceptable exposure duration was only 0.47-4.36 s, meaning that the total daily exposure to the welding arc without eye protection should not exceed this duration. CONCLUSIONS: It is very hazardous to view the arcs in CO(2) arc welding of mild steel. Welders and their helpers should use appropriate eye protectors in these arc-welding operations. Also, they should avoid direct light exposure when starting an arc-welding operation.|*Welding[MESH]|Carbon Dioxide[MESH]|Dose-Response Relationship, Radiation[MESH]|Eye Protective Devices[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Luminescent Measurements[MESH]|Occupational Diseases/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Occupational Exposure/*adverse effects/standards/statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Radiation Injuries/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Radiation Monitoring/instrumentation[MESH]|Retina/radiation effects[MESH]|Retinal Diseases/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Robotics[MESH]|Steel[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH]|Ultraviolet Rays/*adverse effects[MESH]|Workplace[MESH] |
