[TheForge] Interesting Article

[Paul N]

Thanks Frosty,
This is definitely something to be concerned about.

I was about to pass this on, then thought I'd better autheniticate the 
hazard before I did. (Since argon is an inert gas, it made me wonder why 
it was cited as contributing). The OSHA warning at the link below 
indicated that UV and heat are more of the contributors than the inert 
gas. Anyway, anyone who welds oughta take a gander at the doc.

I found a more definitive set of warnings and cautions here: 
http://www.osha.gov/doc/outreachtraining/htmlfiles/weldhlth.html
and thought I'd share so we can all be aware.
