Abstract
A computer system is presented comprising indicators of emission levels and chemical composition of fumes that pollute the work zone air in coated-electrode welding, as well as a system for calculation of the required ventilation air exchange. They can be applied to calculate the content of harmful substances in the work zone air when using different types of ventilation (local and general) and to select the type of the ventilation system for welding under different conditions.
