manganese oxide/tremor

Monkeys and rats were exposed to 11.6, 112.5, and 1152 micrograms Mn/m3 as an Mn3O4 aerosol twenty-four hours per day for nine months. Various evaluations of pulmonary function, electromyographic activity, limb tremor, and tissue manganese levels were conducted. No exposure related effects on

Four monkeys were exposed to a total of 8 g each of manganese as oxide by repetitive subcutaneous injections during 5 months, after which they were left for 1 week to 6 months before they were sacrificed. All animals developed hyperactive behaviour after about 2 months. About 5 months after the

Occupational exposure to manganese can cause early neurobehavioral effects in low- or a-symptomatic workers. A battery of neuropsychological tests was administered to a group of 61 ferroalloy male workers and 87 controls. The average (geometric mean) manganese concentrations in total dust at the
