Risk Communication Concerning Welding Fumes for the Primary Preventive Care of Welding Apprentices in Southern Brazil
This study's aim was to assess the perceptions of welding apprentices concerning welding fumes being associated with respiratory and cardiovascular disorders and assess the implementation of risk communication as a primary prevention tool in the welding training process. This quasi-experimental, non-randomized study with before-and-after design was conducted with 84 welding apprentices in South...
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...
متن کاملToxicogenomic Approach to Risk Assessment of Welding Fumes
Exposure to welding fumes is already known to produce respiratory effects, such as pulmonary function, pneumoconiosis, and lung cancer, along with certain non-respiratory results, such as manganism [1]. However, despite a large number of publications on the pathophysiological process of welding fume exposure-induced diseases to understand the disease process in vivo and in vitro, relatively few...
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...
