Hi! My name is John from expertvillage.com. In this video clip, we will be discussing fumes and proper ventilation. Dust fumes and metal particles can be very hazardous to your health. It is essential to have a good ventilation system if you are working in a shop or in an indoor area. While someone is welding, you will notice that there is quite a bit of smoke produced and there are also chunks of metal that will fly off. If you do not have a ventilation system hooked up, one thing that you can do is prop open a door.
