A recent study found that a group of welders who had Parkinson's disease developed
symptoms approximately 15 years earlier than did other Parkinson's patients.
Manganese History
Manganese can be traced back to the Stone Age. Men were already using manganese dioxide
as a pigment for their cave paintings during the upper paleolithic period, 17.000 years ago. Later in Ancient Greece, the presence of manganese in the iron ore used by the Spartans is a likely explanation as to why their steel weapons were superior to those of their enemies.
Everyone is exposed to small amounts of manganese in air, water, and food. Exposure to metal fumes from welding, cutting and brazing-especially in confined spaces-can cause brain damage. A major culprit is manganese, a component of all steel and major welding materials. Manganese has been known to cause the degenerative brain disorder known as Parkinsonism since 1837. A recent study found 40 percent of welders showed signs of the disorder...

Manganese is the twelfth most common element in the Earth's crust.
Everyone is exposed to small amounts of manganese in air, water, and food. Exposure to metal fumes from welding, cutting and brazing-especially in confined spaces-can cause brain damage.
A major culprit is manganese, a component of all steel and major welding materials.
An estimated 500,000 to 1.5 million people in the United States have Parkinson's disease,
The National Parkinson's Foundation confirms that occupational exposures to Manganese have been linked with clinical Parkinsonism.
Manganese has been found in at least 603 of 1,467 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Scientists recently reported that welding might trigger the early onset of Parkinson's Disease. A research team led by neurologist Brad A. Racette, M.D., found that professional welders developed typical clinical and neurological signs of the disease an average of 15 years earlier than the general population.
The study was featured in the Professional Journal Neurology with an accompanying editorial.
Manganese Simptoms
Manganese can affect you when breathed in.
Repeated exposure can cause permanent brain damage.
Early symptoms include poor appetite, weakness, difficulty swallowing, impotence and sleepiness.
Later effects include changes in speech problems, balance and personality. The later symptoms are identical to Parkinson's Disease.
Heated Manganese can release fumes causing a flu-like illness with chills, fever and aching.

imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution."
"Representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty. Without them we have no other fortification against being ridden like horses, fleeced like sheep, worked like cattle and fed and clothed like swine and hounds." -- John Adams (1774)
