Gene expression profiling in the lung tissue of cynomolgus monkeys in response to repeated exposure to welding fumes
19 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Many in the welding industry suffer from bronchitis, lung function changes, metal fume fever, and diseases related to respiratory damage. These phenomena are associated with welding fumes; however, the mechanism behind these findings remains to be elucidated. In this study, the lungs of cynomolgus monkeys were exposed to MMA-SS welding fumes for 229 days and allowed to recover for 153 days. After the exposure and...
