Cancer-related changes and low-to-moderate exposure to welding fumes: A longitudinal study

Conclusion Low-to-moderate exposure to welding fumes was associated with a small effect on selected early epigenetic biomarkers of cancer. The direction of the methylation pattern (lower methylation of specific CpG sit es) indicates early lung cancer-related changes associated with mild steel welding.byDauter UM, Alhamdow A, Cediel-Ulloa A, Gliga AR, Albin M, Broberg K. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3989
