Abstract

There are many pollutants in welding process and surveying their EFFECTS on human health is very important. During welding operation many pollutants are produced; various gases such as CO2, CO, O3 and nitrogen oxides and also metal fumes like Fe, Mn, Pb, Cr, and Zn which are the most important and can cause several diseases in welding workers.This study was conducted on 152 welders as the case group and 86 workers who were not exposed to welding as the controls. All of the workers were interviewed and examined, then a spirometry and chest radiography were obtained to investigate probable diseases.Problems including abnormal breathing, cough, sputum, wheezing and also reduction in pulmonary function were the most common findings in some of the welders. Statistical analysis revealed lesser pulmonary functions in the case group than in the control group (p<0.05).The most diminished parameter was observed in FEV1 though it was decreased from 4.4 liters in the controls to 3.7 liters in the case group.Some cases of lung cancer due to presence of chromium-6 have been reported through similar studies. But in this survey, looking forward to cancer was not as the main purpose of the study, although no patient with cancer was seen based on their medical records and it seems necessary that more investigation should be done in this regard.
