Just FYI, I worked in a scrap yard running a crane and cutting steel
into chunks for the shredder. A co-worker was cutting galvanized water
tank and got a snoot full of the smoke. He had a nose bleed for a
couple days and was really sick to his stomach and made a hospital trip.
Now I don't know that he got sick from the galvanized smoke or something
else in the tank, but we 'sure' were careful to be 'up wind' when
cutting after that.
