Abstract:Welding fumes contain various metals. Past studies, however, mainly focused on Manganese (Mn)-related neurotoxicity. This study investigated welding-related mixed metal exposure effects on MRI metrics in the basal ganglia (BG) and their dose-response relationship. Subjects with (N = 23) and without (N = 24) a welding exposure history were examined. Metal exposure was estimated with exposure history questionnaire and whole blood metal levels. T1 (weighted-intensity and relaxation time; estimates of brain Mn acc… Show more
