The present systematic review aimed to evaluate the associations between welding fumes
exposure and changes in oxidative stress [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and …

This paper works toward a goal of determining outlines of vortex zones occurring at the inlet
of an exhaust hood and identifying the effect that a hood shape adjusted to these outlines …

Long-term exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbonyl compounds in
beauty products may adversely impact the health of beauty salon technicians. Previous …

In this paper our objectives are to perform a numerical and experimental study of the velocity
field in the area affected by a circular exhaust duct, to define the outline of flow separation …

For local exhaust ventilation systems to be capable of removing contaminants reliably,
accurate data on the velocity field around local exhaust devices is needed. The boundaries …

Welding is a very common operation in many industries and workplaces [1, 2]. According to
American Welding Society, it is defined as “a metal joining process wherein coalescence is …

The flow-field characteristics of high-temperature airflow and particle distributions generated
from the running furnace during smelting process in foundry shop were studied by on-site …

Local exhaust ventilation systems are the most effective–yet power-consuming–method of
capturing contaminants. Shaping of the ventilation ductwork elements is an approach that is …

This study proposes using a local exhaust ventilation system (LEV) to prevent airborne
infections, especially for short-range conversations. We compared the performance of a …

The researchers reviewed construction occupational safety and health research published
