Toxicity of stainless and mild steel particles generated from gas–metal arc welding in primary human small airway epithelial cells
Abstract Welding fumes induce lung toxicity and are carcinogenic to humans but the molecular mechanisms have yet to be clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of stainless and mild steel particles generated via gas–metal arc welding using primary human small airway epithelial c...
