Summary: By assessing the exposure to iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni) fumes in the breathing zone air of 31 welders engaged in arc, argon, and CO2 welding, it was found that the concentrations of Ni, Cr, and Fe in CO2 welding were below the recommended threshold limit value (TWA-TLV) by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). However, the concentrations of Cr and Fe in argon welding were higher than the TWA-TLV, and the concentrations of Ni and Fe in arc welding exceeded the TWA-TLV. Additionally, all three types of welding resulted in non-carcinogenic health risks exceeding the standard level. Therefore, preventive measures such as local ventilation need to be implemented in welding workplaces.

Summary: Due to population growth, agricultural practices have exponentially increased to meet the demand for food. However, this increase has led to the widespread use of pesticides, causing environmental pollution and posing risks to human health. In Brazil, where agriculture is vital to the economy, the approval and regulation of pesticide use is inconsistent and flawed compared to other countries. This paper critically reviews the risks and benefits of pesticide use in agriculture and highlights the need for improved legislation and alternative solutions to reduce pesticide levels in the environment.
