Development of a light sensing self-adjusting hood for welding fumes.
Recently, the incidence of pneumoconiosis due to inhalation of welding fumes has become increasingly remarkable in Japan. Although several engineering methods such as local exhaust ventilation, push-pull ventilation and general (dilution) ventilation have been preferred for controlling airborne contaminants released from welding work, thorough reduction of the welder’s exposure to welding fumes...
متن کاملDevelopment of Welding Fumes Health Index (WFHI) for Welding Workplace’s Safety and Health Assessment
BACKGROUND This study aimed to develop an index that can rank welding workplace that associate well with possible health risk of welders. METHODS Welding Fumes Health Index (WFHI) were developed based on data from case studies conducted in Plant 1 and Plant 2. Personal sampling of welding fumes to assess the concentration of metal constituents along with series of lung function tests was cond...

متن کاملManganese speciation of laboratory-generated welding fumes.
The objective of this laboratory study was to identify and measure manganese (Mn) fractions in chamber-generated welding fumes (WF) and to evaluate and compare the results from a sequential extraction procedure for Mn fractions with that of an acid digestion procedure for measurement of total, elemental Mn. To prepare Mn-containing particulate matter from representative welding processes, a wel...
متن کاملBronchial reactions to exposure to welding fumes.
OBJECTIVES To study the airway response and its mechanism to welding fumes in six welders with respiratory symptoms. METHODS Methacholine and welding challenge tests were carried out. The concentration of welding fumes during the exposure test was measured. On two subjects who developed bronchoconstricition to welding challenge, additional tests were carried out including prick, patch, and in...
