Manganese Attorneys
Manganese is a naturally occurring metal that is usually
found in compound form with other elements such as oxygen, sulfur, or
carbon. A small amount of manganese is essential to human health, but
over-exposure to manganese can lead to manganese poisoning and a condition
known as Manganism.
The two most common ways that people are exposed to manganese occur through
ingestion and inhalation.
* Ingestion - a small amount of manganese in foods is essential to maintain
good health, but larger amounts can lead to manganese poisoning.
* Inhalation - fumes from welding, steel manufacturing, mining, and railroad
work contribute to manganese inhalation. People who work with manganese
on a daily basis are at the highest risk of exposure to manganese.
Manganese exposure is highest in people who work with manganese every
day. These workers include:
- Welders
- Steel workers
- Miners
- Railroad workers
Manganism is a disease caused by excessive exposure to manganese. The
symptoms of Manganism include:
- Tremors
- Lethargy
- Impaired coordination
- Speech difficulties
- Awkward gait
Because Manganism and Parkinson's disease share similar symptoms, experts
have classified Manganism as a Parkinson's syndrome. Researchers are also
trying to determine if welding is an environmental cause of Parkinson's
disease.
