Arc welding processes generate complex aerosols composed of potentially hazardous metal
fumes and gases. Millions of workers worldwide are exposed to welding aerosols daily. A …

The ends of chromosomes shorten at each round of cell division, and this process is thought
to be affected by occupational exposures. Occupational hazards may alter telomere length …

In this work, three pesticides of different physicochemical properties: glyphosate (GLY,
herbicide), imidacloprid (IMD, insecticide), and imazalil (IMZ, fungicide), were selected to …

Background Welding fumes consist of a wide range of complex metal oxide particles which
can be deposited in all regions of the respiratory tract. The welding aerosol is not …

Evidence suggests that exposure to welding fumes is a risk factor for lung cancer. We
examined relationships between low‐to‐moderate occupational exposure to particles from …

Background Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding represents one of the most widely used metal
joining processes in industry. It has been shown to generate a large majority of particles at …

The antioxidant potential of grape (Vitis vinífera L.) stems has been reported in the last
decade although no identification of the individual compounds responsible for such action …

To date, grape stems have been partially assessed on their content in phenolics and their
radical scavenging activity, whilst the potential to modulate oxidative stress in biological …

Welding fume is a complex mixture of different potentially cytotoxic and genotoxic metals,
such as chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe). Documented health …

Inhalation of welding fume (WF) can result in the deposition of toxic metals, such as
manganese (Mn), in the brain and may cause neurological changes in exposed workers …
