    Anyone legitimately curious it’s saying welding fumes are harmful. The thing on the left is a welding stinger for stick welding.

      I’m guessing that the material they’re warning about would be galvanized steel. Apparently the fumes are extraordinarily toxic, and there’s fuck all that can be done once you’ve inhaled it. Also, chemically treated steel/metals can have residue that is toxic once heated to extreme temperatures… and again, little to no treatment once you’re exposed.
