Welding Rods

A recent study conducted by researchers at Washington University at St. Louis suggests that industrial exposure to welding fumes may be associated with the early onset of Parkinson's disease.

Welding rods, electrodes and wire contain numerous substances that release toxic fumes when used during welding, including:

:.Manganese : Copper : Lead :Cadmium.:

New evidence suggests that chronic exposure to welding fumes may cause a host of symptoms linked to or similar to Parkinson's disease.

We are currently investigating potential claims against the manufacturers of welding products, including welding rods, wires and electrodes, for damages caused by exposure to manganese fumes. This potentially harmful exposure usually occurs during the process of steel-alloy welding and other steel melting activities.

The following activities can cause exposure to manganese fumes: gas metal arc or metal inert gas (MIG) welding, gas tungsten arc or tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, flux cored arc welding, shielded metal arc welding, brazing, thermal cutting, metal pouring or gauging.

If you performed welding-related activities, or worked for extended periods of time in areas where such activities were conducted, you may have been exposed to manganese fumes.

If you were involved in any of these welding or welding-related activities or worked for extended periods of time in areas where such activities were conducted AND now EITHER are suffering from:

• Manganism

• Manganese Induced Parkinsonism

• Parkinson's Disease
