Abstract Introduction: Nowadays, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is the most widely
used arc welding. During the welding operation, typically, various harmful agents such as …

Electric arc welding is a routine operation in the construction of metallic structures, but the
fumes generated during the welding process can threaten the health of welders. Fumes are …

The fumes and gases releasing from welding processes may seriously affect welders' health
compared to other hazardous agents arising from welding like, noise, and ultraviolet …

Background Occupational exposure to welding fumes is a known health hazard. The aim of
this study was to determine concentrations of welding fumes components such as: iron …

BACKGROUND: Welding pollutants have potentially dangerous effects on the health of
welders. Analysis of exposure risks is an appropriate method for industrial hygiene …

The purpose of this study is to assess the accurate state of the following: total welding fumes
versus welding fumes in the air, respirable particulate mass, and exposure of dockyard …

Welding is a major industrial process used for joining metals. Occupational exposure to
welding fumes is a serious occupational health problem all over the world. The degree of …

Background: Exposure to the evaporated gases during the welding process has short-or
long-term effects on welders' health. Assessment of the risk by identifying and determining …

Welding fumes vary in composition depending on the materials and processes used, and
while health outcomes in full-time welders have been widely studied, limited research on …

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 …
