Low levels of manganese in welding fumes cause neurological problems
(Washington University School of Medicine) Welders exposed to airborne manganese at estimated levels under federal occupational safety standards exhibit neurological problems similar to Parkinson's disease, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Further, the more they are exposed to manganese-containing welding fumes, the faster the workers' signs and symptoms worsen. The findings suggest that current safety standards may not adequately protect welders from the dangers of the job. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)

Early exposure to too much manganese causes attention deficits in rats
Too much manganese early in development causes lasting attention deficits and other impairments in rats. Studies of children and adolescents have associated excess manganese in the diet with attention deficits, but confounding factors in those studies have made it impossible to show a cause and effect relationship. The new study is the first to establish a causal link between exposure to elevated manganese in the diet and attentional dysfunction in an animal model. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)
