Abstract

This literature review (July 1982 through June 1984) with 105 citations gives an assessment of current knowledge of the effects of welding on health, as well as to aid in the formation of research projects in this area, as part of an ongoing program sponsored by the Society. Previous work has included studies of the fumes, gases, radiation, and noise generated during various arc welding processes.
