Abstract

Introduction &Objective: In the last few years, many studies have been carried out concerning the effects of fumes of welding on the respiratory system. The importance of this matter becomes clearer when we know that welding is one of the most common industries in the world and WELDERs are estimated to make up more than 1% of work force in the industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to see whether the SPIROMETRY TEST can be utilized as screening indices in a health program and for the prevention of respiratory diseases among WELDERs. We were also interested in knowing the chronic effects of exposure to welding fumes on SPIROMETRY TEST. Results of previous studies appear to be controversial as to the answers to these questions. Materials & Methods: WELDERs working in the body part welding plant of a large car factory were studied by designing a historical cohort. Results of the SPIROMETRY TEST were studied in a five year interval. A questionnaire was provided and the data concerning such factors as duration of welding, previous job, smoking habits and respiratory complaints were collected. . Results: Mean differences of Spiro metric indices during the period were as follows: FEV1 0.48L R (0.3-1.41), FVC 0.77L R [(-0.8)-2.46], FEV1/FVC 2.7% R [(-5)-16], FEF 25-75% 0.4LR [(-0.89)-2.53], MVV 16.56 L/min R(1-81) .There was a significant decrease in FEV1, FVC (p<0.05) in smokers & non-smokers (regarding the effect of age and smoking). Pattern of respiratory impairment was mixed for smokers and restrictive for nonsmokers. Coughing appeared to be the common symptom following welding. Conclusion: Findings indicated that welding could be a high risk job for respiratory system and this problem necessitates. Adequate ventilation, proper respiratory protection and improvement in workshops. It can also be concluded that SPIROMETRY TESTs along with an exact questionnaire are required for health programs and prevention of respiratory diseases among WELDERs.
