Many people have heard of metal poisoning. Most people know what it is and how it's caused by the use of chemicals in manufacturing processes. But very few realize how dangerous it really is. In this article I'll describe how you can get metal poisoning from forging
Metal poisoning occurs when you inhale or ingest small amounts of metal particles that are present in the air or dust. The particles are not necessarily toxic, but they can irritate your lungs or digestive tract and cause problems like sore throats, coughing, sinus infections and chronic fatigue
The most common cause of metal poisoning is found in manufacturing facilities where large quantities of steel, iron or other metals are used to make products like cars, appliances and tools. When these materials are heated up during manufacturing processes, small amounts of iron and other metals are released into the air where workers can inhale them easily through their noses and mouths. Workers often don't realize that they've been exposed to harmful levels of metals until it's too late〞especially if they're not wearing protective gear such as masks or glasses with good ventilation systems built into them!
