No. A medical history can give a clue but if the patient was a welder and also smoked then it's not possible. A lung biopsy may give some indication.
The most common welding hazards are, burns, electrical shock, inhalation of harmful fumes, and UV damage to skin and eyes. All can be easily avoided if proper safety precautions are implemented.
They include but are not limited to: burns, electrical shock, inhalation of harmful fumes, and UV damage to the skin and eyes.
Chronically inhaling the fumes from the production/creation of plastics, or the burning of plastics, could cause damage to the body and brain. However, a one-time incident likely would not cause brain damage. The bigger riskwith fumes from plastic (creation or burning) is respiratory irritation or damage.

Possibly, depending on the toxins inhaled.
If the fumes are from welding anything galvanized, simply drink milk.
Welding smoke is typically loaded with metal fumes. If you are welding mild steel, the fumes are not that bad because iron is not particularly toxic. Welding chrome or stainless steel can release some fairly dangerous fumes such as nickel and hexavalent chromium. Using an appropriate respirator or getting sufficient ventilation can provide protection.
yes
Paint fumes can be harmful to anyone, especially those with respiratory issues. It is advisable for a patient with an aortic valve replacement to avoid exposure to strong fumes, including paint fumes, as a precaution. Prolonged exposure could potentially lead to respiratory irritation and exacerbate existing health conditions.
Just about anything will cause brain damage, but the big ones are drugs,alcohol, fumes from various products ( sniffing those fumes on purpose), accidents, disease, lack of oxygen to the brain either on purpose or by another means.
It can affect the nervous system if its fumes were inhaled. It can cause damage and/or death.
They can be depending on the material you are welding. Most hot plate welders have a ventilation system that will evacuate fumes from the inside of the welder. This greatly reduces the risk to the operator.
