--20cf307ac783988f5404af48702b I agree with Mark that metals are probably of more interest than the pollutants you mention (manganese is another potential metal of interest). You might be able to use one sampling type for ultimate metal analyses of several metals, but you will probably need a separate one for hexavalent chromium. Which metals you focus on may depend on what is being welded (e.g., stainless tends to have higher Cr content than most non-stainless). Todd Tamura Tamura Environmental, Inc.

I will be monitoring welding fumes in our student welding bay and am looking for suggestions of anything to look for other than particulates, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Thanks for any suggestions=85
