involve exposure to chemicals
and toxins on the job that
cause permanent and/or severe
injury. Welding, one of the
more recent industrial trades,
can create poisonous conditions
for workers. The toxic effects
that have been well known
to industry leaders were
not revealed to the public
until fairly recently. If
you were exposed, you should
call an experienced New York

The fumes produced in high
doses when a welder's torch
burns into a metal surface
can lead to various ailments
including lung cancer, kidney
disease, acute metal poisoning
and a Parkinson's-like disorder
called manganism.Here you

a New York manganese lawyer
who is knowledgeable and
experienced in the field
welding and who will be able
to guide, counsel and advise
you on the dangers of poisoning.
Manganism, while similar
to Parkinson's disease, can
be distinguished from Parkinson’s
in that it usually has an
earlier onset and affects
different areas in the brain
that control motor function.
Some research suggests that
it may also cause earlier
onset of Parkinson's in those
predisposed to the disease.
When breathed into the lungs
through the nose or mouth,
enters the bloodstream and
crosses the blood-brain barrier,
which normally functions
to protect the brain from
toxic chemicals. Toxic manganese
exposure produces a variety
of neurological disorders
and other symptoms including:
- Tremors
- Muscle stiffness and
soreness
- Fatigue and weakness
- Speech disturbances
- Loss of coordination
- Abnormal gait
- Leg cramps or weakness
- Fixed facial _expression
- Impotence
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing
- Slow and clumsy movements
- Stooped posture
- Mental and emotional
disturbances
- Inability to conceive
children
- Increased susceptibility
to cough and bronchitis
- Increased lung disease
Workers usually do not develop
symptoms of poisoning unless
they have been exposed to
toxic fumes for many months
or years. There are reports
of patients who developed
symptoms several years after
their exposure ceased, however.
There is no cure for manganism,
though there are medical
treatments including drugs
and possible surgery that
can delay progression of
the disease and/or reduce
the severity of symptoms.
