Certain studies have reported various insulin resistance responses to ambient heavy metal
pollution, but few have reported such responses to occupational heavy metal pollution. Even …

Exposure to metals poses potential health risks, including insulin resistance (IR), to those
exposed to them in excess. Limited studies have examined such risks in occupational …

Previous studies have demonstrated the association of exposure to air pollution and the
diabetes mellitus (DM). Insulin resistance has been regarded as an underlying mechanism …

Welders in this study were selected from a vehicle manufacturer; control subjects were from
a nearby food factory. Airborne manganese levels in the breathing zones of welders and …

We investigated airborne and internal exposure to manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) among
welders. Personal sampling of welding fumes was carried out in 241 welders during a shift …
