Recently, it has been shown that exposure to welding fumes containing both zinc and copper leads to asymptomatic systemic inflammation in humans as shown by an increase of blood C-reactive protein. In the present study, it was investigated which metal is responsible for this effect.
Fifteen healthy male subjects were exposed under controlled conditions to welding fumes containing either zinc, or copper, or copper and zinc.
For each exposure blood C-reactive protein increased.
Copper- and zinc-containing welding fumes are able to induce systemic inflammation.
最近的研究表明，接触含有锌和铜的焊接烟雾会导致人体出现无症状的全身性炎症，血液中C反应蛋白升高即表明了这一点。在本研究中，我们探究了是哪种金属导致了这种效应。
15名健康男性受试者在受控条件下接触含有锌、或铜、或铜与锌的焊接烟雾。
每次接触后，血液中的C反应蛋白均升高。
含铜和锌的焊接烟雾能够诱发全身性炎症。
