| 2008 | Disinformation: In august 2008, Assmang fired a team of doctors who diagnosed manganism in 10 of its workers. The workers were suffering from a host of neurological symptoms after working at a manganese processing factory near the southeastern coast of South Africa. The new team of medical experts hired by Assmang revised the workers’ diagnoses to suggest they suffered from drug abuse and other maladies, according to Susan Tager, who testified before the South African Department of Manpower. Tager, who was on the original team of physicians that diagnosed manganism, said that the new Assmang expert panel never examined the patients.: | Integrity in Science |
