So, my uncle is dying. Probably on his last few days if he has that kind of time, in his mid 60s, gently caress cancer and tumors. He was a welder for most of his life in the 80's and into the late 90s working at refineries up and down the Texas coast before that as a kid working the fields with the rest of my family up until recently he was doing what most rural South Texas people do and was just truck driving until this cropped up. There's some kind of tumor growth that got a hold of the side of his ear canal and down his neck, my aunt believes it was from all the years of welding he did. I'm more liable to think it was from being sprayed with pesticides via crop dusters when he was growing up. What are exactly the hazards of welding when you're working at a refinery, I know that you need the shield to not get blinded, but what else? Is the metal and light intense enough for some kind of radiation poisoning, metallic fumes? I figure this was the place to ask since that's all some kind of insane OSHA.

This would have to be pretty constant exposure to have that kind of long term effect. One of my grandfathers was an agricultural sprayer, along with a farmer. For about 35 years, he sprayed herbicides, pesticides, fungicides. Rarely wore a mask, didn't care, catholic Jesus was gonna save him. He died at I think 67 with a brain tumor the size of a baseball. So yeah, they can have an effect, but it was his bread and butter for 30+ years, not just casual exposure from childhood.

Well he's 62, and spent his time from mid single digits up to his mid 20s working in the fields through the mid 60s into the 70s etc etc, nothing for him or my mom and other aunts and uncles was casual in that regard. They worked sun up to sundown. It's something I also worry about for my mom since she's prone to different illnesses as well as your usual Latino go to standards of, Diabetes, cardiovascular issues, obesity.

I doubt it has to be “constant” exposure. Certainly not taking that anecdote as proof.

It's something I also worry about for my mom since she's prone to different illnesses as well as your usual Latino go to standards of, Diabetes, cardiovascular issues, obesity. My point being, if the chemicals dumped on him were causative, they would have been noticed a lot longer ago. Welding fumes in a refinery aren't exactly fresh mountain air. If that's what he did with the bulk of his life, that's almost certainly what caused it. Not that farm chems won't give you cancer, because they will, but it's going to require more time than huffing burning metal fumes in a literal oil refinery. Even those who have successfully sued about Roundup were using it daily for several years before they were diagnosed. Why are you so hesitant to place blame on his occupational workspace and chase this line of thought? Also diabetes, cardio and obesity aren't a latino thing, they're any everybody thing. I'm the only one in my family of 5 that doesn't have the Wilford Brimleys, and I'm as white as standard issue apartment appliances. Dang It Bhabhi! posted:I doubt it has to be “constant” exposure. Certainly not taking that anecdote as proof. Not like, literally bathing in it, but regularly enough that it's a part of your work life, sure. But if you want cancer faster, sure, jump in a pool of it. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jun 7, 2022 |

I think huffing ambient refinery air is probably enough to get all the cancer see the study I linked.

Probably. I remember a fuss being made when the gulf oil spill was going on about high levels of benzene being detected in the air 500 miles north. It was a blip on the news between Obama speeches, and I never heard a word of it again.

It's not that I don't believe working in a refinery and welding for most of your adult life wouldn't do that. It's more of seeing other relatives that didn't do that line of work start cropping up with similar issues in their later years in life. But everyone that's working in a refinery is essentially slow death I believe, poo poo I see it whenever I drive into Corpus. I guess it's a thing I was always more fixated on growing up as well, relatives complaining about skin issues, breathing issues and just putting two and two together when you see crop dusters fly low and just do their thing. The older folk talking about how kids would run after the crop duster planes in the fields and no one had the education doing that was going to be super loving bad for their health later on.
