Resumo(s)
During welding process, a visible smoke that contains harmful metal fume and gas byproducts is produced. The exposure to these welding fumes can bring adverse effects for
workers’ health, such as fever, bronchitis, fibrosis, chronic inflammation, functional
changes in the lung and increased risk of cancer. The workers performing welding tasks
are directly exposed to the metal particles produced by the weld. However, it is important
to realize that not only the welders may be exposed to these fumes. If there is no particle
suppression, these particles can reach other workers.
