Dangers of welding
If the proper precautions are not taken, welding can prove to be quite dangerous to one's health. During the welding process there are several fumes and gases released as the filler material and metals bond with each other. The dangers associated with welding depend on several variables such as:

• The welding method (such as MIG, TIG, or stick)
• What the welding rod (electrode) is made of
• Filler metals and base metals (such as mild steel, stainless steel and manganese)
• Paints and other coatings on the metals being welded

If the area you worked in was not properly ventilated there is a strong chance that you were exposed to Manganese fumes which can cause Manganism and Parkinson's disease. If you have been exposed and are starting to exhibit the symptoms of Parkinson's disease you may have a right to compensation.
