| Abstract |
Possible chromosome damage among manual metal arc (MMA) welders of stainless steel, was studied following findings that welding fumes generated by MMA welding of stainless steel are mutagenic in several in vitro systems. Structural chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were also studied in peripheral-blood lymphocytes of 23 welders and 22 controls. No significant differences in the frequency of chromosome aberrations or SCEs were detected between the 2 groups. Smokers, both welders and controls, showed a significantly higher SCE rate than non-smokers. |
