Welders may become sick from breathing in manganese in fumes created by the welding process. They have an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, especially at a young age. They may also suffer from manganism or manganese poisoning, a condition that damages the brain and nervous system. Patients with manganism have tremors, slow movements, an awkward gait, body stiffness, and a fixed gaze.

Courts have begun to award damages to those plaintiffs who can demonstrate that their health issues are the result of manganese exposure and toxicity.

Welding gives off fumes that contain toxic metals, including nickel, chromium, manganese, zinc, and cadmium. Gases are also produced during the welding process. These include carbon monoxide, which can deplete the air of oxygen in close quarters, and ozone, a lung irritant. The content of the welding fumes depends upon the composition of the welding rods, base materials, and the material that is being welded. See Welding Fumes and Gases.
