Many workers in several different occupations can be exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which may increase their risk of developing skin cancer. Welding, an occupation employing an estimated 11 million people worldwide, is one such occupation. Welders are known to be exposed to the full spectrum of UVR from the welding arc and often experience burns and localized cutaneous erythema. In 2017, UVR from welding was classified as carcinogenic to humans based on sufficient evidence of ocular melanoma in humans. It has been hypothesized that exposure to UVR from the welding arc also may increase the risk of skin cancer among workers in this occupation. This review summarizes the current literature on skin cancer risk in welders.
许多从事不同职业的工人都可能接触到紫外线辐射（UVR），这可能会增加他们患皮肤癌的风险。焊接是一种全球范围内约有 1100 万人从事的职业，就是这样一种职业。众所周知，焊工接触到的是来自焊接电弧的全光谱 UVR，并且经常会遭受灼伤和局部皮肤红斑。2017 年，由于有充分的证据表明人类眼部黑色素瘤与焊接产生的 UVR 有关，因此将焊接产生的 UVR 归类为对人类致癌物质。据推测，来自焊接电弧的 UVR 暴露也可能会增加从事该职业的工人患皮肤癌的风险。这篇综述总结了目前有关焊工皮肤癌风险的文献。
