Research on Welding

The National Library of Medicine's indexers, who file every article in PubMed under subject headings (MeSH), filed 38 studies in our library under “Welding” as a main topic. The indexing is NLM's, not ours. For what these studies mean for people exposed, read our page on welding. Each entry links to the study on PubMed and to its journal's page in our library, where you can read the abstract.
