Brief summary
The alkaline gel-electrophoresis and micronucleus assay showed that the participants of exposed group had higher DNA damage of leucocyte’s nuclei and higher micronuclei frequency into reticulocytes than control group. The whole blood concentration of manganese was increasing too. Blood manganese concentration was negative correlated with DNA damage. It seems that manganese protects nuclear DNA from damage. It seems that at low concentration manganese was involved in antioxidant activity but at high concentration it was capable of to induce DNA damage in human leucocytes.
Evidently genotoxicity of welding fumes is determined by other metals (lead, cobalt, nickel or aluminium), which are in welding fumes. It might be their combined action.
