The long term effects of breathing the zinc/lead conpounds on most
galvanized steels is death. The short term effects are simpler, figure
you've cut your bodies ability to absorb oxygen by about 50%,
permanently, every time you brath the fumes! Heavy metal poisoning is
for the most part irreversible, and that's what you're getting.

    If you absolutely have to weld the material, grind the galvanizing
back to a where it does't even get warm!
