● As a trace element that is widely and naturally present in our environment, Manganese is the 12th most abundant element on the Earth's surface.
● Manganese is an essential element for the growth of humans, animals and plants, which is fundamental to maintain human health.
● In July 1990, The Food and Drug Administration of the United States suggests that at least 3,500 micrograms of manganese should be consumed daily.
● Manganese is abundant in daily foods and also in the air we breathe. For example, a cup of tea contains 1,200 micrograms of manganese.
● The average person takes in about 99% of manganese from food and water, while less than 1% comes from the air.
Ordinary gasoline is somewhat toxic. Adding 18mgMn/L to gasoline will not increase the toxicity of gasoline. Higher concentrations of MMT(greater than 20%) are highly toxic. The main manifestations and treatment methods are shown in the table.
