A welder’s job is very tough job as he is incessantly open to perilous objects and smoke.
Welders who work in automobile shops, factories, steel industry, and construction sites develop big risk of neurological and respiratory sicknesses. The welding rods used by welders contain stuff that leaves poisonous gas when in contact with tremendous heat. Most welders are aware of different risks related to welding, but the risk involved when in contact to manganese during welding is not known to the welding rod manufacturers. Due to this ignorance many welders develop an unbearable, weakening disease known as Manganism making the workers unable to carry out normal life and also their profession.
Symptoms of Manganism or Welder’s disease is: Tremble, Short-term memory loss, infertility, Loss of balance, indistinct speech, rigidness and pain in the hands.

Long time contact with these manganese smokes has led to a severe neurological malady which is similar to Parkinson’s disease and many workers have been affected. In 2006, around 10,000 welders suffering from this manganese smokes defect have been found correct when the attorney representing the workers found major discrepancy in the report submitted by the corporate people and the reality. These corporate people had denied their participation in these damages.
Lincoln Electric Company, General Electric and Westinghouse and other corporate defendants displayed their case by a study that showed that there was no association between Manganese and Welder’s Disease. This report was a blended data showing misleading data and figures which also included fabricators being exposed to manganese. In fact, the welders were 10 times more prone to get Parkinson’s like symptoms than the fabricators in the research. So the report was deceptive and proved the welders to be true.
