Abstract
As scientists spar over the health effects of low levels of manganese (see main text), the steel industry is bracing for a courtroom battle over exposure to the metal at higher doses. A wave of claims arguing that manganese in welding fumes caused Parkinson's-like disease will go to trial beginning next month in a Mississippi state court. The number of claims could rival those for asbestos-related lung disease.Keywords
