Reports also mention such sources as contaminated drinking water, [11] and fuel additive methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), [12] which on combustion becomes partially converted into manganese phosphates and sulfate that go airborne with the exhaust, [13] [14] [15] and manganese ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate , a pesticide. [16]
Manganese has been detected at concerning levels, posing health risks especially to young children and pregnant women due to its neurotoxic effects. [4] This is a public health concern as groundwater is often the primary water source in the region.
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is the principal antioxidant in mitochondria. Several enzymes activated by manganese contribute to the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, and cholesterol. [2] A deficiency of manganese causes skeletal deformation in animals and inhibits the production of collagen in wound healing. [3]

Historically, persons employed in the production or processing of manganese alloys [119] [120] have been at risk for developing manganism; however, health and safety regulations protect workers in developed nations. [116]
1. Maple syrup. Type: Natural sweetener. Potential benefits: Maple syrup is high in antioxidants and rich in minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese.However, like other ...
After a fire at a Monterey County battery storage facility, scientists say high levels of heavy metals were found at a nearby estuary, a home to endangered species.
The conclusions of a risk assessment are that "for MMT and its transformation products, when MMT is used as a fuel additive in petrol, no significant human health or environmental concerns related to exposure to either MMT or its transformation [combustion] products (manganese phosphate, manganese sulfate and manganese tetroxide) were ...
