| Welding Rod
A recent study from scientists at the Washington University School
of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, have discovered data that relates
Parkinson's disease to exposure to fumes from welding rods. Scientific
studies have related Parkinson's disease to welding in the past
through exposure to manganese in the welding rods and materials
have sometimes referred to this welders' illness as manganese poisoning
or manganism. The Washington University study states that the conditions
experienced by welders are not two different illnesses, but are
in fact both Parkinson's disease.
Both scientists and manufacturers of welding rods have known that
there was a higher incidence of Parkinson's disease and asthma among
welders and other individuals exposed to manganese and other dangerous
elements contained in welding rods. The manufacturers, however,
failed to adequately warn of these ill effects, and for years, have
failed to instruct employers of welders on how they can keep their
workers safe. It is likely that the average welder never knew the
danger that lingered even after the torch had been cut off.
