Particulate Fume Particulate fume is the dust and particles created by the welding and cutting process that are often present in the workshop in greater or lesser degree. Particulate fume is made up mainly of complex oxides and silicates of the metals present in the consumable and to a lesser extent the parent material being used. Whether the fume is likely to cause damage, depends largely on its precise composition, but also on the concentration breathed in and the length of time of exposure to that specific pollutant.
