  • Title: [Functional significance of lung siderosis in electrode welders].
    Author: Schneider WD, Maintz G, Reimer W, Schmidt G, Tittelbach U.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1987 Mar 01; 42(5):126-30. PubMed ID: 3590889.
    Abstract:
    56 electric arc welders found in a cross-sectional study to show pulmonary siderosis in full size x-rays were clinically examined. Looking for the discussed functional, relevance of such lung diseases in welders the diagnostic program included spirometry, flow-volume-curves, body-plethysmography, single breath diffusion capacity, pulmonary compliance and ergooxytensiometry. The results are supporting that "lung siderosis" in welders is associated with slight functional deterioration in the type of interstitial lung diseases.
