In many welding processes, air pollutants are generated and take the form of dust, fume and gases. These particles generally remain suspended in air and in that way can be carried long distances from the welding arc. Plethora of studies have suggested that welding is insidious to the male reproductive system, other pernicious effect includes the development of benign pneumoconiosis, siderosis, respiratory impairment, headache, nausea, shortness of breath, muscle pain and a metallic taste in the mouth. The objectives of this study was to determine the personal exposure to total, inhalable and respirable particulate matter在贝宁市的焊工中，对数据进行统计分析，并将获得的值与监管限值进行比较。使用 SKC Air Check 重力采样器捕获颗粒。2011 年 10 月至 2012 年 3 月期间，为期 6 个月，每周采样 3 次。结果显示，TSP、可吸入 PM 和可吸入 PM 的测量存在空间变化，且颗粒物测量均高于阈值限值（TLV）。 ）在大多数研究地点，除了奥鲁库和阿格博的焊工外，他们的 TSP、可吸入和可吸入污染物均低于此限值。
