How do welders develop manganism?
Although manganese is normally present in the human diet, excess exposure to airborne manganese can lead to manganese poisoning or manganism. Manganese–containing welding rods release the metal during the welding process, as do some materials that are welded. Welders can breath in the manganese through welding fumes and dust. Safety precautions are necessary to reduce this risk. See Welder Safety Issues.
