As a person who works in technical fields, I see these kinds of situations every day. This is one of my colleagues who was doing soldering without wearing a mask or protective glasses.
I can personally say that it is very dangerous because my eyes start burning whenever I do this kind of work. When I asked him why he was not wearing a mask, he said that it feels uncomfortable during hot days.
He is only one example,there are many more workers who do the same. Factories involved in welding, soldering, coal burning, and metal processing release pollutants such as smoke, fine particles (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and greenhouse gases into the air. Soldering and welding fumes can seriously affect workers’ lungs and breathing because they contain tiny metal particles and toxic gases.
That is why many workers wear masks to protect themselves from constant exposure to smoke and fumes.
