    • A follow-up study of neurobehavioral functions in welders exposed to manganese 

      Ellingsen, Dag; Chashchin, Maxim; Bast-Pettersen, Rita; Zibarev, Evgenji; Thomassen, Yngvar; Chashchin, Valery (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Welders may be exposed to high amounts of manganese (Mn). In this study 63 welders and 65 referents were followed up with neurobehavioral tests approximately 6 years after the initial examination at baseline. The welders ...

    • A study of atherothrombotic biomarkers in welders 

      Ellingsen, Dag; Chashchin, Maxim; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg; Berlinger, Balazs; Chashchin, Valery; Stockfelt, Leo; Thomassen, Yngvar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Introduction: Studies have shown that welders have increased cardiovascular mortality. This may be due to airborne particulate matter (PM) exposure. Elevated levels of PM in polluted urban air have been associated with ...

    • Biological monitoring of welders' exposure to chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium 

      Ellingsen, Dag; Chashchin, Maxim; Berlinger, Balazs; Fedorov, Vladimir; Chashchin, Valery; Thomassen, Yngvar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Background Welders are exposed to a number of metallic elements during work. Bioaccessability, that is important for element uptake, has been little studied. This study addresses bioaccessability and uptake of chromium ...

    • Neurobehavioral performance of patients diagnosed with manganism and idiopathic Parkinson disease 

      Ellingsen, Dag; Shvartsman, Grigoriy; Bast-Pettersen, Rita; Chashchin, Maxim; Thomassen, Yngvar; Chashchin, Valery (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Purpose: There is a lack of knowledge about neurobehavioral performance among patients with manganism and how their performance differs from that of idiopathic Parkinson disease patients (PD). This study was initiated with ...

    • On the bio-accessibility of 14 elements in welding fumes 

      Berlinger, Balazs; Weinbruch, Stephan; Ellingsen, Dag; Zibarev, Evgenji; Chashchin, Valery; Chashchin, Maxim; Thomassen, Yngvar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The bio-accessibility of 14 elements in welding fume particulate matter was investigated in 325 personal air samples collected during welding in two shipyards and one factory producing heavy machinery. The apparent solubility ...

    • The interaction between manganese exposure and alcohol on neurobehavioral outcomes in welders 

      Ellingsen, Dag; Kusraeva, Zarina; Bast-Pettersen, Rita; Zibarev, Evgenji; Chashchin, Maxim; Thomassen, Yngvar; Chashchin, Valery (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Neurobehavioral functions were studied in 137 welders exposed to the geometric mean (GM) air concentration of 214 μg/m3 (range 1–3230) of manganese (Mn) based on the individual mean from two days of air sampling. Only 22 ...
