Joel:

Dunno much about welding other than advising use of a welding helmet at
all times.

Had some arc welding done at a 3rd world shop here in Miami, and the
welder set up the weld without a helmet, closed his eyes, and completed
the weld.  It was a good weld.

But I've *never* observed a welder act concerned about the fumes from the
welding process.

Based upon my involvement in dealing with pulmonary disease (in others) as
a result of industrial processes - I would be concerned.
