Welding and soldering produce fumes, gases, and metal particles that can lead to serious health problems (e.g., cancers, kidney failure, emphysema, lead poisoning). A Portable Welding Fume Extractor, placed where one performs a metalworking task, is designed to remove these toxic elements. This four-wheeled unit consist of a fan that draws these air-borne particulates into and through a hose to an internal filter system that removes them then expels the now-clean air.
