... when you use a plasma cutter? In other words, you put compressed air into the arc, what's left after it 'dissipates', for want of a better word.
I'll tell you why I ask: we need to cut a pipe in a confined space. As it stands at the moment we've proved that the air is breathable indefinitely without breathing apparatus (or at least as indefinite as the job needs), but what potential is there for contaminating the atmosphere with the plasma arc? Ozone? Nitrogen? Oxides of whatever?
