I'm no chemist but I try to read everything I can about safety with this type of thing. We occasionally have to weld on our spray rigs and respirators and fans are mandatory as per my shop rules. I always have the Techs pressure wash the area first.These machines have fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, growth regulators, fertilizer, and who knows what else on them. From what I've read, some of these compounds can change their form when heated and go from very bad to much worse.
