    Welding Rods Linked to Early Onset of Parkinson's disease; Pennsylvania Men Sue Manufacturers PR Newswire, SOURCE Roda & Nast, P.C.
    A 2001 study performed by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that welders who participated in the study developed Parkinson's disease an average of 15 years earlier than non-welders who developed Parkinson's disease.

    The complaint alleges that exposure to the toxins in welding fumes, including high levels of Manganese, can damage the central nervous system and cause neurological problems. Other disorders caused by the toxins in welding fumes include manganese poisoning, and Manganism, according to the complaint.
