Exposure to welding fumes is associated with acute systemic inflammatory responses.
AIMS To investigate the acute systemic inflammatory response to welding fume exposure. METHODS Twenty four welders (42% smokers) and 13 non-exposed controls (23% smokers) were monitored at a welding school. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was assessed using cyclone samplers. Markers of systemic inflammation, including C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and white blood cell (WBC...
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...
متن کاملExposure to welding fumes is associated with hypomethylation of the F2RL3 gene: a cardiovascular disease marker
BACKGROUND Welders are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Recent studies linked tobacco smoke exposure to hypomethylation of the F2RL3 (coagulation factor II (thrombin) receptor-like 3) gene, a marker for cardiovascular disease prognosis and mortality. However, whether welding fumes cause hypomethylation of F2RL3 remains unknown. METHODS We investigated 101 welders (median span of working as...
متن کاملoccupational exposure to welding fumes using different ventilation scenarios
welders may suffer from welding fumes generated during the process if the ventilation systems are improperly applied. the objective of the present work was to study the mitigation of air pollutants at welding stations, using different ventilation scenarios. four air pollutants including iron oxide, respirable dust, ozone, and carbon monoxide were measured during four different ventilation scena...
متن کاملDo existing empirical models for welding fumes estimate exposure to ultrafine particles among canadian welding apprentices?
To the Editor: W elders are at risk of a wide range of respiratory health problems, including bronchitis, airway irritation, and lung function changes.1–5 Despite short duration of exposure, an inception cohort study of apprentice welders in Quebec documented a significant respiratory function decline, incidence of welding-related respiratory symptoms suggestive of occupational asthma and sensi...
