The paper presents the results of a systematic review regarding emissions of noxes in the case of welding in shielding gases. For this paper it was used The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) published in 2009. A total of 65 academic papers retrieved from the ScienceDirect Freedom Collection, Elsevier database, Web of Science - Core Collection, Clarivate Analytics, Scopus, SpringerLink Journals databases were identified and analysed. The main objectives of this review were to answer the following questions: (1) What are the major health issues related emissions of noxes in the case of welding in shielding gases? (2) What are the measures of control for the fumes and gases? The search was conducted in January 2023. The results were organized into two major sections. The first include information on major health issues associated with welding noxes. The second contains studies thought to be relevant on measures of prevention and control.
