Toenail Metal Concentration as Biomarker of Heavy Metal Exposure among Welders
This study examined the concentration of heavy metal accumulated in the toenail of welders and compared to the concentration of airborne heavy metal exposure in the breathing zone of the welders. Ten selected welders with adequate toenail growth were asked to clip all ten toenails for analysis. The heavy metal concentration in the welder’s breathing zone was collected by using mixed cellulose e...
متن کاملMetal fume fever among galvanized welders.
The metal fume fever (MFF) is an inhalation fever syndrome in welders of galvanized steel, who join and cut metal parts using flame or electric arc and other sources of heat. Inhalation of certain freshly formed metal oxides produced from welding process can cause MFF as an acute self-limiting flulike illness. The most common cause of MFF is the inhalation of zinc oxide (ZnO). The inhalation of...
متن کاملConcentration Evaluation and Health Risk Assessment of Welders' Exposure to Total Fumes and Manganese during Welding at Metal Industry
Introduction and purpose: Risk assessment of toxic or hazardous chemicals enables industrial hygienists to make appropriate decisions regarding management provisions in a healthy workplace. Exposure to total fumes and manganese during welding can have harmful effects on welders’ health. Therefore, the present study was conducted in the metal industry to evaluate the concentration and determine ...
متن کاملHeavy metal exposure from foods.
The Food and Drug Administration has a continuing program of monitoring foods for their content of lead, cadmium, mercury, zinc, arsenic, and selenium to determine trends of increasing or decreasing levels. The monitoring protocol is that of the Total Diet Study, in which "market baskets" of typical foods and beverages consumed by 15- to 20-year-old American males are collected in various geogr...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of genotoxic effects among shielded manual metal arc welders.
Hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) used in shielded metal arc welding is widely recognized to act as a carcinogen, mutagen and teratogen. The carcinogenic potential of metals is a major issue in defining human health risk from exposure. Hence in the present investigation, 66 welders and 60 control subjects with similar mean ages, smoking prevalences and alcohol consumption were enrolled for DNA damage...
