Article Synopsis
- The study focused on assessing the risks of exposure to welding fumes and airborne heavy metals in electronic manufacturing workshops in Hangzhou, China.
- Air samples from welding workshops showed high levels of contaminants like manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe), with Mn strongly correlating with Fe, while non-welding workshops had elevated copper (Cu) levels.
- Health risk assessments indicated that while some metal exposure in welding workshops exceeded permissible limits, the lifetime cancer risks were acceptable, but non-cancer risks for Mn were concerning in both types of workshops.
Association between serum copper/zinc ratio and lung cancer: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 39 studies with nearly 4,000 lung cancer patients and over 3,000 healthy controls were analyzed, revealing that lung cancer patients had significantly higher serum copper/zinc ratios compared to healthy individuals and those with benign lung diseases.
- * The findings suggest that an elevated serum copper/zinc ratio may be linked to a higher risk of developing lung cancer, with higher ratios observed in patients at more advanced stages of the disease.
