The high temperature produced in the welding process is harmful to the reproductive system of both men and women. During electric welding, high temperature will be generated at the welding point, which will increase the temperature of testis, thus adversely affecting the production and development of sperm. In women, high temperature also affects the quality and quantity of eggs. Therefore, long-term exposure to welding in high temperature environment may lead to the decline of male sperm quality and quantity and female egg quality, thus affecting fertility.
Harmful gases and metal particles produced in the welding process also have certain damage to the reproductive system. Some harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides will be produced during electric welding. These harmful gases can stimulate the human respiratory system, but also enter the reproductive system through blood circulation, which has toxic effects on testis, ovary and other organs. Welding will also produce a large number of metal particles, such as heavy metal particles such as lead and cadmium, which can enter the body through inhalation or ingestion, causing damage to the reproductive system.
Noise from welding operations will also have a negative impact on fertility. High noise will be generated during welding. Long-term exposure to high-intensity noise will not only affect the nervous system and auditory function of human body, but also cause endocrine disorders, leading to abnormal hormone levels, thus affecting the reproductive ability of men and women.
Welding work is intensive and takes a long time, which may also lead to physical fatigue, lack of sleep and other problems. These factors will increase the stress burden of the body, and then have a certain impact on the reproductive system.
Electric welding has a certain effect on fertility. High temperature, harmful gases and metal particles, noise, long-term work intensity and other factors may cause damage to the reproductive system of men and women. Therefore, we should pay attention to protect our health when welding, and take corresponding measures to reduce the adverse effects on fertility.
