urinary β2 microglobulin in workers exposed to arc welding fumes
welding is a process in which two or more metals are attached by the use of heat and, in some cases, pressure. direct exposure and inhalation of welding fumes causes acute and chronic side effects in humans. kidney damage is one of these important side effects. β2 microglobulin is an 11.8 kilodalton protein and levels increase in the case of some inflammatory and viral diseases, or kidney malfu...
متن کاملDental erosion in workers exposed to inorganic acid fumes.
Changes in the colour and, structure of the teeth in workers exposed to strong inorganic acid fumes have, we believe, been recognized for many years by the workers themselves. Various measures of protection have, in fact, been unofficially adopted by them, and these we shall discuss below. Because these changes do not give rise to any loss of time or earnings, and because the affected workers h...
متن کاملReduction in male births among workers exposed to metal fumes.
Sir—A number of reports suggest that some occupational exposures of males may alter the gender ratio of their offspring. Reduction in male offspring has been observed after exposures to hyperbaric chambers 1 and among professional drivers, 2 applicators of dibromochloropropane, 3 carbon setters 4 and aluminum smelter workers. 5 Weijin and Olsen 6 have suggested that offspring gender ratio, beca...
متن کاملObstructive Pulmonary Function Impairment among Korean Male Workers Exposed to Organic Solvents, Iron Oxide Dust, and Welding Fumes
We evaluated spirometric obstructive pulmonary function impairment among workers who were occupationally exposed to organic solvents, iron oxide dust, or welding fumes. Data were collected from records of periodic health examinations of workers. In total, 448 Korean male workers were enrolled and classified into three exposure groups: exposure to organic solvents, iron oxide dust, or welding fu...
متن کاملAlterations in leukocyte telomere length in workers occupationally exposed to benzene.
Exposure to benzene, a known leukemogen and probable lymphomagen, has been demonstrated to result in oxidative stress, which has previously been associated with altered telomere length (TL). TL specifically has been associated with several health outcomes in epidemiologic studies, including cancer risk, and has been demonstrated to be altered following exposure to a variety of chemical agents. ...
