Abstract

In the last few years, many studies have been carried out concerning the effects of fumes of welding on the respiratory system. Perhaps, the importance of this is revealed when we know that welding is one of the most common industries in the world and workers are estimated to make up more than 1°1'0of the work force of industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to clarify if the SPIROMETRY TESTs can be utilized as screening indices in a health program and prevention of respiratory diseases among WELDERs. On the other hand, we wanted to know about the chronic effects of exposure to welding fumes on SPIROMETRY TESTs. Results of previous studies are controversial to answer these questions. In this research, 195 WELDERs who were working in the body part of a large welding plant of a large automobile manufacturing company were studied. Results of SPIROMETRY TESTs were evaluated in a five years interval (the course between two spirometries). A questionnaire was provided and the data including duration of welding, previous job, smoking habits & respiratory complaints was collected .The mean decrease of spirometric indices was accordingly as follows in this five years; FEV1 0.48L R(0.3-1.41), FVC 0.77LR[(-0.8)-2.46], FEV1/FVC 2.7% R[(-5)-16 ], FEF 25-75% 0.4L R [(-0.89)-2.53], MVV 16.56L/min R(1-81). There was a significant decrease in FEV1, FVC (p=0.05) in smoker& non - smoker WELDERs (adjusting the effect of age and smoking) .Pattern of respiratory impairment in smokers war mixed and in non - smokers was restrictive .Coughing was a common symptom following welding. The findings imply that welding is a high risk job for respiratory system. These effects indicate the need of adequate ventilation, proper respiratory protection & improvement of the work air -conditions. SPIROMETRY TEST and exact questionnaire are needed for health program of WELDERs and can be utilized for health programs and prevention of respiratory diseases among WELDERs.
