Despite evidence of adverse health effects resulting from exposure to manganese (Mn),
biomarkers of exposure are poorly understood. To enhance understanding, mean blood Mn …

Since 1997, nine cases of severe pneumonia, caused by species within the B. cereus group
and with a presentation similar to that of inhalation anthrax, were reported in seemingly …

Since the original description of the health effects of inhaled occupational manganese (Mn)

Arc welding processes generate complex aerosols composed of potentially hazardous metal
fumes and gases. Millions of workers worldwide are exposed to welding aerosols daily. A …

BACKGROUND: In a group of 43 confined space welders dose–effect relationships had
been identified for adverse neurological/neuropsychological functional effects in relation to …

Background: Welding exposes workers to manganese (Mn) fumes, but it is unclear if this
