Welders affected

According to a group of researchers from Saint Louis, welding can cause the onset of Parkinson's disease. To carry out the research, 15 professional welders have been analysed with clinical and neurological signals typical of the disease and have found that the disease has developed an average of 15 years before the rest of the population.

However, as the head of the group has pointed out, this result does not mean that welding produces Parkinson's disease. In their opinion, these welders could develop the disease in another way, but something related to welding has made the symptoms appear before. Now it's about making something concrete.
