Genetic Effects of Welding Fumes on the Development of Respiratory System Diseases
2018-11-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The welding process releases potentially hazardous gases and fumes, mainly composed of metallic oxides, fluorides and silicates. Long term welding fume (WF) inhalation is a recognized health issue that carries a risk of developing chronic health problems, particularly respiratory system diseases (RSDs).
