The paper by Racette et al. [1] shows the effect of manganese, as measured by UPDRS score, in a population of welders. The interesting point is that the workers were not (as yet) diagnosed with parkinsonism. Multiple follow-ups show a slow progression over many years but not, for most at least, being severe enough to get medical attention.

Reference:
