Public Comment Period for Draft Document Human Health Risk Assessment for Inhaled Manganese

Manganese is an essential nutrient, but at sufficiently high levels of exposure it can affect the functioning of the central nervous system. Health Canada has published a draft science assessment document entitled Human Health Risk Assessment for Inhaled Manganese. This document provides a detailed technical review of the science of the health effects of manganese, and includes a new health-based reference concentration for manganese in air.
