There was a fellow on another older Mercedes forum, who ran a blacksmith shop in his garage, he was melting some metal that contained Zinc, and when he opened the door, one breath he inhaled all those fumes and he became VERY ill for a month in the hospital before passing away....

galvanized is pretty rank. S-10s are mostly galvanized and i've welded on them countless amounts of times. the idea is you just need to have a fan around you and make sure you've got plenty of ventilation. make sure you drink lots of milk too! never never weld over brake clean though...that will kill you!!

All good points...
I know this is less of a factor for most of us BUT...
In the event some fellow forum members might be working on surplus military equipment, we should be aware of the dangers posed by CARC (chemical agent resistant coating) paint and welding near it. It's the subdued paint military vehicles, trailers, generators, pretty much anything in 'military colors' gets painted with. SOMETIMES equipment will be labeled "CARC" but not always. You can recognize it by the matte, almost rough finish. When welding, sanding, sand blasting or spraying, it releases toxic fumes. Like other coatings, once dry and cured, it doesn't present these hazards.

A few years ago ( OK, so it was 30 years ago) I called my local poison control center to ask about welding galvanized metals. The person on the phone said they considered it a "self-limiting" condition, i.e. you will get irritated from the odor before it gets to a lethal dose.
I was not happy with that reply.
