| Popis: | Sleep disorders may pose a risk to workers in the workplace. We aimed to investigate the associations between metal fume fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and sleep quality in workers. We assessed the effects of personal exposure to metal fume PM2.5 on lung functions, urinary biomarkers, and sleep quality in shipyard welding workers. In total, 96 welding workers and 54 office workers were recruited in the present study; office workers were exposed to 82.1 ± 94.1 μg/m3 PM2.5 and welding workers were exposed to 2166.5 ± 3149.1 μg/m3. Welding workers had significantly lower levels of FEV25-75 than office workers (p |
