Comment to Dueck et al. ‘Welding Fume Exposure and Health Risk Assessment in a Cohort of Apprentice Welders’: Need for Safety Education and Cardiovascular Diseases Prevention

Recently,Duecket al. (2021) from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada published an article on welding fumes exposure and health risk assessment in a cohort of apprentice welders. Interestingly, they found that levels of atmospheric concentration of total particles and metals increased during training course and especially for manganese, chrome, nickel, and zinc. In multivariate analysis, the principal determinant of particles concentrations was the welding process.
