This paper presents the findings from a collaborative interlaboratory comparison exercise designed to assess oxidative potential (OP) measurements conducted by 20 laboratories worldwide. This study represents an innovative effort as the…

Welding fumes (WF) are a complex mixture of ultrafine polymetallic particles, which can deposit in all regions of the respiratory tract. They contain high levels of transition metals (Cr, Cu, Mn...) known to catalyse the production of reactive oxygen…

Inhalation of welding fumes (WF) containing high levels of transition metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni ) is associated with numerous health effects. Transition metals are known to catalyze the production of ROS and their reactivity depends on the nature of…
