Welding is a common industrial process - so common that up to 2% of the working population in industrialized countries has been engaged in some sort of welding. Although the types of welding are many, it has been estimated that shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW) on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum are performed by 70% of welders. Arc welding causes emission of manganese. Manganese (Mn) is an element that is an essential nutrient, but that can be toxic at high exposures. Mn is ubiquitous in the ambient environment, being present in the soil, water, air, and food. The main source of Mn intake for most individuals is food.
