| Abstract: | Objectives This is the second of two parallel longitudinal studies investigating Al exposure and neurobehavioral health of Al welders
over 4 years. While the first published study in the trail and truck construction industry examined the neurobehavioral development
of Al welders from age 41–45 in the group mean (Kiesswetter et al. in Int Arch Occup Environ Health 81:41–67, 2007), the present study in the automobile industry followed the development from 35 to 39. Although no conspicuous neurobehavioral
developments were detected in the first study, which furthermore exhibited the higher exposure, it cannot be excluded that
exposure effects appear in earlier life and exposure stages. |
