Literature survey since EWH-5, covers technical literature from July 1984 through December 1985. This review has been prepared for the Safety and Health Committee of AWS to provide an assessment of current knowledge of the effects of welding on health, as well as to aid in the formation of research projects in this areas, as part of an ongoing program sponsored by the Society. Previous work has included studies of the fume, gases, radiation, and noise generated during various arc welding processes.
