area. These metals produce extremely toxic fumes which can cause discomfort, illness and death. • Do not weld or cut in areas that are near chlorinated solvents. Vapors from chlori nated hydrocarbons, such as trichloroeth ylene and perchloroethylene, can be decomposed by the heat of an electric arc or its ultraviolet radiation. -
