Question
Does the radiation from long-term exposure to argon arc welding affect the health of infants at home?
Answer
The hazards of manual welding mainly come from welder’s lung disease, while the carbon dioxide produced during TIG welding forms ozone, which has a significant impact on the lungs. The hazards of argon arc welding are the greatest; long-term engagement in this work may lead to infertility or malformed fetuses in male welders, and various gynecological diseases in female welders, with severe cases potentially resulting in habitual abortion or malformed fetuses without a heartbeat. Recommendation: This is just a probability issue, and it does not mean that engaging in this work will definitely lead to illness; it just means the likelihood of illness is higher. Therefore, taking proper protective measures is crucial!
