METAL FUME FEVER: Engineering Control is necessary

Dr. Mahendra Kumar

Abstract :

 Metal fume sever is an acute self limiting condition caused due to inhalation of metal oxide fumes. Symptomatology of metal fume fever can mimic other conditions that must be considered in the differential diagnosis. The aupt onset of symptoms on the job or within 3 to 10 hours after work and history of welding or galvanization of steel should make the diagnosis. Treatment of metal fume fever is symptomatic and nonspecific. In this concept paper we conclude that prevention includes implementation of engineering controls like fume extractors built into welding equipment.
