Evolving Geographical Concentration of European Manufacturing Industries
This paper analyses the geographical concentration of 32 manufacturing sectors over the 1972-1996 period, based on annual employment and export data for 13 European countries. Concentration has increased continuously over the sample period in employment terms, while remaining roughly unchanged in export terms. On average, increases in concentration were stronger prior to the launch of the Singl...
متن کاملReduction of Biomechanical and Welding Fume Exposures in Stud Welding.
The welding of shear stud connectors to structural steel in construction requires a prolonged stooped posture that exposes ironworkers to biomechanical and welding fume hazards. In this study, biomechanical and welding fume exposures during stud welding using conventional methods were compared to exposures associated with use of a prototype system that allowed participants to weld from an uprig...
متن کاملAluminum welding fume-induced pneumoconiosis.
Chronic exposure to high concentrations of fumes during aluminum arc welding causes a severe pneumoconiosis characterized by diffuse pulmonary accumulation of aluminum metal and a corresponding reduction in lung function. Aluminum fume-induced pneumoconiosis is a rarely reported entity, of which the true incidence is unknown. We report the clinical, radiographic, microscopic, and microanalytic ...
متن کاملWelding Fume and Gas Exposure
A recent $1 million award by an Illinois jury to a welder was the first plaintiff victory in a welding rod failure-to-warn suit and many similar cases are expected to follow. In the case of Elam v. AO Smith et. al., the jury concluded that the manganese in welding fumes caused a 65-year old worker to develop a neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s disease (i.e., Manganism). Since there a...
متن کاملGravimetric and analytical evaluation of welding fume in an automobile part manufacturing factory.
BACKGROUND Welding is one of the most exercised industrial processes which welders are exposed to chemical and physical Hazardous agents. This study was conducted to evaluate occupational and environmental exposures to aerosols generated by welding processes in a factory. METHODS A total of 28 samples of aerosols were collected at 4 different locations including indoor, outdoor, source of wel...
