✦ Synopsis

Seventeen male manual metal-arc stainless steel welders (mean exposure time 20 years) had far higher levels of chromium in urine than individually matched controls (medians 23 vs 1 5 ltmol/mol creatinine; 10 5 vs 0.7 gg/g creatinine) However, there were no signs of kidney damage in tests of function oftubuli (fi-hexosaminidase, lysozyme, andi 2 -microglobuline) or glomeruli (albumine clearance).

The effect of welding fumes on small airways was studied in 25 male subjects who welded in aluminium (Al) and to some extent also in stainless steel (SS). Despite a low exposure to welding fumes as compared to the permissible exposure limits, excretion of Al in urine was found to be increased in all

The association between welding and lung cancer has been studied in a nested case-referent study within a cohort of 8,372 metal workers. Lifetime exposure data on welding and other occupational exposures, as well as alcohol and smoking habits, were obtained by interviewrs of spouses and colleagues.
