      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 ...
