Why are Welders Getting Sick?

Welding rods, welding electrodes, and welding wire are all commonly used as filler material or consumables in the welding process. This is where the problem begins, as Manganese and Manganese fumes are released when these rods or electrodes are fused into place. Manganese fumes are colorless and odorless and unfortunately, highly toxic.

These Manganese fumes enter the blood stream and then move rapidly to the body's tissues. From there the fumes to affect the central nervous system. Chronic exposure to these fumes, sometimes in as little as three months, can result in severe nervous system disorders resembling Parkinson's disease.
