This literature review with 172 citations has been prepared for the Safety and Health Committee of the American
Welding Society to provide 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. Referenced materials are available from Tracor Jitco.
