Source: "Getting the Fumes Out" by Nestor Gula of Canadian Metalworking

1. Health - Prolonged exposure to welding fumes can lead to metal fume fever, aka "zinc chills/shakes", and other health issues
2. Productivity - Less time is wasted cleaning the collected particles from the work area and welding lens
3. Talent - A safe and clean environment is more enticing, and may lead to better employees and an easier hiring process
4. Comfort - In some cases, a properly applied and maintained source fume extraction system can allow the welder to work without a respirator

5. Compliance - Providing your workers with the cleanest air possible is one of the easiest ways to consistently meet government work condition standards
