Manganese Information

Manganese is a metallic element used in making various products, such as steels, dry cell batteries, and potassium permanganate. Regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, manganese is linked to extremely serious health conditions as a result of exposure. Parkinson’s disease, manganism, manganese poisoning, Parkinsonism, and Wilson’s disease have all been linked to manganese exposure.

Manganese remains in the central nervous system long after exposure to manganese has occurred, allowing the element to affect the health of individuals years later. Permanent brain damage can result from manganese exposure, so symptoms of manganese poisoning should be immediately checked. In the event that you were exposed to manganese and may be suffering the effects of the dangerous element, seek immediate medical attention.
