Can the long term health effects of oxy-acetylene welding be minimized/eliminated?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) January 20th, 2011

I understand that oxy-acetylene welding has some side effects. I want to minimize them as much as possible.

I was thinking I should wear separate clothes to weld, and keep them in a plastic bag, and keep that bag in a duffle bag. Then I could change in and out of those clothes whereever I weld.

Then I was thinking a decent inexpensive breathing filter, a hat, a mechanic suit, etc.

Anything else?

Is this unnecessary? One can never be too careful right?
