Bibliography

Describes safety requirements concerning the separation of welding fumes and describes a method for determining the particle separation efficiency of welding fume separation equipment. And deals with the significant hazards caused by the emission of welding fume particles from welding fume separation equipment operated according to its intended use and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer.
