Metal
Fume Fever - Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention Strategies
|
Metal
fume fever is seen primarily in welders who perform soldering, brazing,
cutting, metallizing, forging, melting and casting operations utilizing
elements of zinc, copper, or iron. Although metal fume fever can occur
following exposure to several metal oxide fumes, zinc oxide
is the most frequent cause of the syndrome. |
