Manganese in the diet is nutritionally essential for normal physiologic functioning. However, excessive exposure to manganese has been associated with developmental, neurodegenerative and other disorders. The book comprehensively covers the toxicology of manganese. Leading investigators provide perspectives from toxicology, neuroscience, nutrition, molecular biology and risk assessment disciplines and chapters cover the toxicokinetics, toxicodynamic interactions and health effects of manganese, as well as its potential role in neurodegenerative diseases. A large section devoted to health effects presents the latest research that associates manganese exposure to potential human diseases. Any scientists, health professional or regulator involved with metal exposure and toxicology should find this volume essential reading. Students and researchers in neurotoxicology will also find this book a useful reference.
Manganese in Health and Disease discusses recent advances of the role of manganese on different human pathologies. The book presents research discussing the possible role of manganese in the development of some degenerative diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and atherosclerosis. The role of manganese in individuals with epilepsy and congenital malformations is also discussed. This comprehensive book will interest basic researchers and clinicians including research scientists, physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, nurses, and educators.
This project summarizes current knowledge about manganese chemistry, treatment control strategies, manganese occurrence, distribution system issues, and long- and short-term health effects. The report overviews chemical oxidation, adsorption, biological filtration, and ion exchange techniques for removing manganese from drinking water. In addition to the literature review, a January 2001 workshop was convened to identify future manganese research needs. These research proposals are detailed in a prioritized, multiyear research agenda that describes a series of research projects and funding requirements. An extensive bibliography is provided, but no index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Manganese mineralization is diverse in occurence, origin, mineralogy and geochemistry. This volume includes a review of the range of terrestrial Mn deposits and their relative abundance through geological time. Experimental and modelling approaches to Mn geochemistry and mineralogy can further aid our understanding of the formational and depositational processes involved and thereby our interpretation of deposit metallogenesis.
This research study describes the chemistry and suggested treatment of manganese in drinking water, with the goals of reducing customer complaints and improving perceived water quality. The problems are aesthetic-water discoloration (usually black or dark red), clothing and fixture staining, turbid water sediments, and, at very high levels, metallic taste.
