Manganese concentrations in soil and settled dust in an area with historic ferroalloy production
...Published in Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology
Ferroalloy production can release a number of metals into the environment, of which manganese (Mn) is of major concern. Other elements include lead, iron, zinc, copper, chromium, and cadmium. Mn exposure derived from settled dust and suspended aerosols can cause a variety of adverse neurological effects to chronically exposed individuals. To better...
