       As the concern for air quality grows, so does the con-

cern over the less ubiquitous but potentially harmful contami-

nants that are in our atmosphere.  Thirty such pollutants have

been identified, and available information has been summarized

in a series of reports describing their sources, distribution,

effects, and control technology for their abatement.

       A total of 27 reports have been prepared covering the

30 pollutants.  These reports were developed under contract

for the National Air Pollution Control Administration  (NAPCA) by

Litton Systems, Inc.  The complete listing is as follows:


    Aeroallergens (pollens)       Ethylene
    Aldehydes (includes acrolein  Hydrochloric Acid
      and formaldehyde)           Hydrogen Sulfide
    Ammonia                       Iron and Its Compounds
    Arsenic and Its Compounds     Manganese and Its Compounds
    Asbestos                      Mercury and Its Compounds
    Barium and Its Compounds      Nickel and Its Compounds
    Beryllium and Its Compounds   Odorous Compounds
    Biological Aerosols           Organic Carcinogens
      (microorganisms)            Pesticides
    Boron and Its Compounds       Phosphorus and Its Compounds
    Cadmium and Its Compounds     Radioactive Substances
    Chlorine Gas                  Selenium and Its Compounds
    Chromium and Its Compounds    Vanadium and Its Compounds
      (includes chromic acid)     Zinc and Its Compounds


       These reports represent current state-of-the-art

literature reviews supplemented by discussions with selected

knowledgeable individuals both within and outside the Federal

Government.  They do not however presume to be a synthesis of

available information but rather a summary without an attempt

to interpret or reconcile conflicting data.  The reports are

-------
necessarily limited in their discussion of health effects for

some pollutants to descriptions of occupational health expo-

sures and animal laboratory studies since only a few epidemic-

logic studies were available.

       Initially these reports were generally intended as

internal documents within NAPCA to provide a basis for sound

decision-making on program guidance for future research

activities and to allow ranking of future activities relating

to the development of criteria and control technology docu-

ments.  However, it is apparent that these reports may also

be of significant value to many others in air pollution control,

such as State or local air pollution control officials, as a

library of information on which to base informed decisions on

pollutants to be controlled in their geographic areas.  Addi-

tionally, these reports may stimulate scientific investigators

to pursue research in needed areas.  They also provide for the

interested citizen readily available information about a given

pollutant.  Therefore, they are being given wide distribution

with the assumption that they will be used with full knowledge

of their value and limitations.

       This series of reports was compiled and prepared by the

Litton personnel listed below:

Campbell, assisted by Dr. Emanuel Landau and Gerald Chapman.



       Appreciation is expressed to the many individuals both



outside and within NAPCA who provided information and reviewed



draft copies of these reports.  Appreciation is also expressed



to the NAPCA Office of Technical Information and Publications



for their support in providing a significant portion of the



technical literature.

                         ABSTRACT






         Inhalation of manganese or its compounds may induce



chronic  manganese poisoning  (a disease of the central nervous



system)  or manganic pneumonia (a croupous pneumonia).  Chronic



poisoning is disabling, and manganic pneumonia often results



in death.  Two  studies, one  in Norway and one in Italy, have



demonstrated the health hazards of manganese air pollution.



In addition, manganese compounds are known to act as cata-



lysts  in the oxidation of some air pollutants, producing



even more undesirable pollutants.  They cause generalized



soiling  of materials, but no evidence of damage to plants



is known.



         The production of ferromanganese compounds in blast



furnaces provides the most common source of manganese air



pollution.  Other sources include the use of organic



manganese fuel  additives, welding rods, and incineration of



manganese-containing products.  During 1964 the average con-



centration of manganese in the air was 0.10 iag/ma ; the



maximum  value recorded was 10 l-ig/m3 .  Manganese emissions




are controlled by normal particulate control methods.  No




information has been found on the economic costs of manganese



air pollution or on the costs of its abatement.  Procedures



exist for the measurement of this material in the atmosphere;



however, discrimination between the various compounds is not



made.

1.   INTRODUCTION


          Although manganese (Mn) is one of the elements essential


    to the human body, a high atmospheric concentration may result


    in (1) chronic manganic poisoning, a disease of the central


    nervous system,   (2) manganic pneumonia,   or (3) catalytic


    oxidation  '   of other air pollutants to more undesirable


    compounds.


          Air pollution by manganese arises almost entirely from

                                       61
    the manganese and steel industries.    Fumes from welding rods


    and organic manganese compounds may also contribute to air

      nn  .  .   10,11,29.46  __        .           ,  .,  .  ,
    pollution.             The organic compounds that have been


    tested as additives in gasoline, fuel oil, and diesel oil for


    use in both internal combustion engines and turbine engines


    may become a source of pollution.


          From an air pollution standpoint, the oxides of manganese

                                                      61
    are the most important of the manganese compounds.    Almost


    all of the manganese in the atmosphere enters it as manganese


    oxides, such as MnO, Mn2C>3, or ^304.  However, these oxides


    may rapidly react with other pollutants—for example sulfur


    dioxide and nitrogen dioxide—to form water soluble manganese


    compounds„

-------
2 .   EFFECTS



          Manganese can exist in 8 different oxidation states



    (0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7), of which the bivalent form


       +2
    (Mn  ) is the most stable.  Elemental manganese is a highly



    reactive metal.  The lower oxidation states are usually in


                                 +2    +3    +4
    the form of cations (e.g., Mn  , Mn  , Mn  ), while the

                                                   _2      _o
    higher oxidation states form anions (e.g., MnO   , MnO   ,



    Mn04~ ).



          The toxicity of manganese compounds appears to depend



    upon the type of manganese ion present and the oxidation



    state of the manganese.  .It has been suggested that

                                                          61
    manganese cations are more toxic than the anion forms.    The



    permanganate anions, though strong oxidizing agents which show



    some caustic action, are relatively less toxic than the



    cations.  The bivalent cation is said to be 2.5 to 3 times


                                                                 38
    more toxic than the trivalent cation.  Levina and Rabachevsky
    reported that while manganese oxides such as MnO,  Mn-^O^  Mn O



    and MnO  were toxic to rats, the higher oxides were the most



    toxic .



          The associated anion is reported to affect the toxicity



    of manganese:  manganese citrate is more lethal than manganese



    chloride.    See Table 1 in the Appendix for the properties,



    toxicity, and uses of some manganese compounds.



    2 .1   Effects on Humans



          Exposure to manganese in the air may result in chronic

-------
manganese poisoning and/or manganic pneumonia.



2.1.1 Chronic Manganese Poisoning


      Chronic manganese poisoning is primarily a disease of


the central nervous system, resulting in total disablement


after exposure to high concentrations of manganese dust


(usually the oxides) for only a few months.  The disease is


reversible if it is recognized early and the person is


removed from exposure to the dust.  Symptoms include a


peculiar slapping gait, weakness in doing heavy work, cramps


or tremors of the body and extremities, a mask-like expression,


impulsive and uncontrollable laughter, speech difficulty,


hallucinations, insomnia, absentmindedness, and mental

   ^  .    12,25,27,39,47,66
confusion.


      Manganese may be absorbed by inhalation, by ingestion,


or through the skin; most damage results from prolonged


inhalation.  High concentrations of manganese are found in the

     10,11,29
hair.          Radioactive manganese-54 has been used as a

                                                     19 42
tracer to study the pathology of manganese poisoning.

                                                            35
      Manganese is primarily excreted in the feces.  Studies


comparing excretion rates in healthy manganese workers and in


persons suffering from chronic manganese poisoning reveal that


healthy workers have a higher-than-normal manganese excretion


rate and persons suffering from manganese poisoning have a


lower-than-normal manganese excretion rate.  These results


indicate that the retention of manganese in the body varies

-------
                 48,65
with individuals.       There is evidence that sensitivity to

manganese poisoning can develop, since persons who have

recovered from the disease appear to be prone to contract it
      65
again.

      The manganese oxides have been observed to produce

chronic poisoning.  No information has been found on the

effects of other compounds of manganese.
                          65
      Wasserman and Mihail   have summarized (Table 2, Appendix)

the prevalence of chronic manganese poisoning among manganese

miners.  They have also suggested that manganese workers often

suffer from manganoconiosis.  Of 820 miners, 209 were suspected

of having manganoconiosis as determined by X-ray.

      The average dose of manganese which causes illness has

not been determined.  However, miners working with pneumatic

drills in Chilean manganese mines in an atmosphere of

approximately 5,000 particles per cubic meter (less than 10 |a*

diameter) developed manganism in 49 to 480 days, the average
                    65
time being 178 days.

      The disease is controlled mainly by removing the patient

from the dusty environment.  In some cases, administration of

calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetracetic acid has increased
                                            61
the excretion rate (primarily in the urine).

2.1.2 Manganic Pneumonia

      Manganic pneumonia, often referred to as a croupous

pneumonia, is distinguished by the following symptoms:  a sudden
     *
      l_i:  micron ( s).

-------
onset of pneumonia, intense dyspnea, high temperature,

radiological signs of acute lobar pneumonia, and little

expectoration (often hemorrhagic).  Manganic pneumonia does

not respond to antibiotics and is accompanied by a high

mortality rate—four times higher than that for lobar
          24
pneumonia.
            •28
      Elstad   reported on conditions which he noted in the

small town of Saude located on the Western shore of Norway.

Until 1932 the town was frequented by tourists.  In that year,

a plant built in the town to manufacture manganese alloys

began discharging clouds of dark brown smoke into the

atmosphere.  This ended the inflow of tourists into that town,

and gave Saude a reputation as a high morbidity center due

to the frequent occurrence of croupous pneumonia resulting

in a high mortality rate.  Data presented by Elstad indicated

that the total mortality in Norway from all causes was the

same as in Saude, amounting correspondingly to 10.7 and 10.1

per 1,000 persons, but mortality due to croupous pneumonia

was 8 times higher in Saude than for Norway in general:  3.27

as compared with 0.4 per thousand persons.  In 1924 to 1935

deaths caused by croupous pneumonia accounted for 3.65 percent

of Norway's total mortality, while in Saude it was 32.2

percent or nearly 10 times as high.  Postmortem examinations

indicated that the manganese concentration in lung tissues of

persons who died of croupous pneumonia was considerably higher

than normal.

-------
      The high morbidity and mortality caused by croupous



pneumonia in Saude was regarded by Elstad as the result of



systematic manganese discharge into the atmosphere by the


manganese plant.  Examination showed that the ventilation


system of the electric smelting furnace was adequate insofar


as the working premises were concerned, but the smoke containing


manganese compounds was discharged into the atmosphere close to



the metallurgical plant.  However, at 3 km from the discharge


point manganese concentrations in the air were high, and the


particle diameters were 5(_i or greater.  During windy seasons


the smoke was dispersed in a short time, but during periods of


calm or fog, the valley in which the town of Saude was located


was covered with a continuous cloud of smoke.  Elstad noted


that the rise in morbidity caused by croupous pneumonia and its


consequent mortality paralleled the increase in the amount of


ferromanganese discharged by the plant.  This, according to



Elstad, served as additional evidence of the causal relationship


between the plant's discharges and the local high frequency of


morbidity and mortality caused by croupous pneumonia.

             96
      Surveys   made in the U.S.S.R. of 1,200 residents



indicated that 95.6 percent of the persons interrogated within


a 500-m zone complained of unfavorable effects of the plant



discharges.  Residents within the 500-m zone complained of high



dust density.  For example, when the wind blew from the plant


toward the residential area, house windows had to be closed;

-------
clothes could not be hung to dry in the open air; snow became



covered with a layer of black dust; and more frequent



housecleaning became necessary.  Morbidity studies established



that among residents of a nearby village, the frequency of



nervous system effects was similar to the frequency of these



effects among the adult population of the industrial town.



No evidence of neurointoxication was found in workers.



      Analysis of nasal mucosa smears made of 700 children,



mostly of preschool age, showed the presence of manganese in



62 percent of the cases, frequently amounting to 95 ug.  The



water in which the children washed their hands was found to



contain 38,800 |-lg of manganese per square meter of skin area.



These studies also revealed that 34.3 to 48.1 percent of the



children examined suffered from ear, nose, and throat problems.



Neuropathologic studies were made of 204 children; findings,



positive in 16 children only, were represented by light



asthenia, vertigo, neurosis, and vegetative syndrome.



Roentgenological examinations disclosed pulmonary changes in



75 percent of the children, and many of these changes were



tuberculous.  Other changes were periobronchitis of differing



degrees, and periovascularitis, thought by the roentgenologist



to be the result of past diseases, especially in repeat cases.



Thus, results obtained in the study of morbidity among children



of the plant village indicated unfavorable shifts in the children's



health.  The role played by manganese and in particular by

-------
                                                             8
ferroinanganic dust in the etiology of such tissue diseases as

inflammatory processes of the respiratory passages and sclerotic

lung changes was established with more certainty through animal

experiments.  However, such manganese concentrations were tens

and hundreds of times greater than the manganese concentration

allowable in working areas.
                                                   51
      A similar situation was reported by Pancheri,   who

attributed the increased frequency of pneumonia in Aosta, Italy.

to a metallurgical plant emitting manganese dust.
            22
      Davies   observed a high rate (26/1,000 miners) of

pneumonia in manganese workers, and attempted to support the

supposition that manganese produced the pneumonia by means of

experiments on mice.  He concluded that mice show  "an increased

susceptibility to pneumococci or streptococci" and "in man and

animals, manganese dust in suitable particle size introduced

into the respiratory system will, without the presence of other
                            23
factors, cause pneumonitis."    Dust concentrations of 1,000 to

8,000 particles per cubic meter containing 2,000 to 17,000
    3
|jg/m  of manganese dioxide were encountered by the workers

studied, yet no cases of chronic poisoning were observed.
                   63
      Van Beukering   also reported a higher rate of pneumonia

among manganese miners of South Africa than in a control

group of iron miners.  These results are compared with those

of Davies in Table 3 in the Appendix.  Again, no cases of

chronic poisoning were observed.

-------
                                                             9
      Some of the early studies on manganic pneumonia are

listed in Table 4 in the Appendix.  The theory that manganese

causes a disease—manganic pneumonia—rests on statistical

studies which provide evidence of the abnormally high

percentage of pulmonary illnesses in the various sectors of the

manganese industry.  However, the thesis that manganese can
                                                             33
produce manganic pneumonia is not without opposition.  Heine,

unable to produce manganic pneumonia in animal experiments, has

reviewed the literature and proposed that all cases of

pneumonia can be explained by "droughts, long-term unemployment,

undernourishment, weather conditions, etc."  Moreover, he

claims that there is no increased susceptibility to infection.
                   60
In addition, Stocks   has attempted to correlate pneumonia with

the presence of trace elements in 23 British cities.  His

findings show a correlation between pneumonia and beryllium,

but no correlation of pneumonia with manganese.  However, this

lack of correlation may be due to the concentration factor.

The concentrations are quite low, ranging from 0.005 to 0.130
    3                                              3
|jg/m , with most cities having less than 0.050 M-g/m .

      All of these findings are based on results of inhalation

of ferromanganese dust or manganese oxides.  Some experimental

work with animals shows that similar pulmonary effects occur

with other manganese compounds, such as manganous chloride.

Rats separately injected intratracheally with manganese dioxide

and manganous chloride showed histological changes in the lungs,

discharge of mucus in the epithelial cells of the bronchi,

-------
                                                          10
ragged epithelium, and loosened cells from the basal membrane.


However, the effect of inhaling low concentrations of various


manganese compounds over a long period has not been determined.


2.2  Effects on Animals


2.2.1  Commercial and Domestic Animals


        No information has been found in the literature on the


effects of manganese air pollution on wild or domestic animals.


Manganese is often added to the feed of animals,  especially

                                          o 7
chickens, to prevent manganese deficiency.


2.2.2  Experimental Animals


        Studies with rabbits,22 mice,33 and rats show that these


animals suffer the same types of symptoms as humans.


        Joetten36 exposed rabbits to manganese in a ferroman-


ganese metallurgical plant.  All of these rabbits later died


of pneumonia either before or after intranasal inoculation


with pneumococci.  However, all the control animals inoculated


with pneumococci survived.


        Heine33 demonstrated that various forms of manganese proved


toxic to mice:  manganese dust (95% Mn), ferromanganese (88-90% Mn),


blast furnace manganese (75% Mn), manganese dioxide (66% Mn),


manganese silicon (60% Mn), manganese ore (50% Mn), vanadium


slag (29.5% Mn as MnO), and Thomas meal (6.7% Mn as MnO).  The


degree of toxicity of the various substances was a function of


the manganese content rather than the oxidation state of the


manganese.  From a series of experiments on both mice and


guinea pigs he concluded that metallic manganese can be absorbed


through the lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract.  There was

-------
                                                            11
an increase of manganese in the liver following inhalation

of manganese.  In the case of absorption through the skin,

there was an increase of manganese in the liver/ muscles,  and

bones.  After ingestion, high manganese levels were found

in the brain.

2.3   Effects on Plants

      No information has been found on the effects of air

pollution on plants.  Manganese is known to be essential to
              64
higher plants,  and for this reason manganese salts and
                               58
oxides are used as fertilizers.

2.4   Effects on Materials

      Manganese and its compounds are active chemicals which
                                                        58
either react with materials or catalyze other reactions.

Their effect on catalytic oxidation appears to be of prime

importance in relation to air pollution.  However, soiling

has been a common complaint near ferromanganese plants.

      Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide react readily with

manganese dioxide to produce soluble sulfates, dithionates,
             58
and nitrates   by the following reactions:

                       +  SO2  - MnSO4

                       +  3S02 - MnS2°6 + MnSO4

                 Mn02  +  2N02 - Mn(N03)2

      These  reactions have been utilized to remove sulfur
                        14,15,53
dioxide from flue gases.          But more important  is the

fact  that small amounts of manganese, usually  as  manganese

-------
                                                            12
sulfate formed in the reaction of manganese dioxide with

sulfur dioxide, will catalyze the oxidation of sulfur dioxide
                   20
to sulfur trioxide.

                             MnSO
      Laboratory studies of this reaction showed that the

reaction rate became so rapid when the catalyst concentration

was increased above 15 ppm that it was necessary to design a
                                                        16
flow apparatus to measure the rates.  Bracewell and Gall

have shown that these reactions will take place in fog.
                                              3
Assuming a water concentration of 200,000 |j.g/m  in the air and

a manganese concentration of 0.2 [jg/m  in a solution, a sulfur

dioxide concentration of 1,750 [_ig/m  would result in a rate of
                                            3
conversion to sulfuric acid of about 25 |jg/ni  per hour.  The

rate of reaction increases with the increase in the manganese

concentration:  the rate is tripled each time the manganese

concentration is doubled.  The rate also increases linearly

with the increase in sulfur dioxide concentration.  While

other materials such as platinum, graphite, charcoal, vanadium(V)

oxide, chromium(III) oxide, ferric oxide, and nitrogen oxides

will catalyze the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur tri-
                                                         5
oxide, manganese sulfate was found to be the most active.

The manganese concentration in the atmosphere of most cities

is sufficient to catalyze the oxidation.  In view of the above

reactions, it may be impossible to find manganese oxides in

the air since they react readily to form sulfates and nitrates.

-------
                                                            13
      Catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons may also take place.

However, very little information was found in the literature on

this subject.  Hopcalite, a manganese and copper oxide catalyst,

has been used to catalyze oxidation of hydrocarbons in flue
                              18,59
gases and automobile exhausts.       Normally, these oxidations

take place at high temperatures (100  to 600°C).

      Organic catalysts containing methylcyclopentadienyl

manganese tricarbonyl have been marketed by the Ethyl

Corporation.  These catalysts burn and form manganese oxides

which promote combustion of organic fuels, including tiny

particles of carbon, and increase the octane rating of the
     29,58
fuel.

2.5   Environmental Air Standards

      The industrial threshold limit value (8-hour) for

manganese for those occupationally exposed was originally

recommended by the American Conference of Governmental
                                   3
Industrial Hygienists as 6,000 |jg/m .  This has since been
       62              3
reduced   to 5,000 |jg/m .  The latter value was also
                                                           35
recommended by the American Industrial Hygiene Association.
                  50,54
      The U.S.S.R.      has recommended a 24-hour limit of

10 |ag/m  for manganese and its compounds.  The maximum

allowable one-time concentration is 30

-------
                                                                 14
3 .   SOURCES

          Manganese compounds in the atmosphere are generated

    primarily by metallurgical uses in the iron and steel industry .-

    organomanganese additives for fuels, and possibly incineration
                                                           30,45
    of manganese products or manganese-containing products.

          These sources all provide oxidizing atmospheres in which

    manganese may be oxidized in a variety of ways.  When heated

    in air the following reactions  '    will take place:

                             307°-600°C
                   4Mn02           -       2Mn2°3 + °2

                             800°-1200°C
                             Heated in Air
                   4Mn + 30        ->       2Mn2O
                             Heated in Air
                   6MnO +0        -       2Mn O
                           Z,                  J TT

          Thus, most manganese emissions to the atmosphere are in

    the form of oxides.  However, in the presence of sulfur dioxide

    and nitrogen dioxide, these oxides are rapidly converted to

    sulfates and nitrates (see Section 2.4).


    3 .1   Natural Occurrences

          Manganese is widely distributed in the combined state,

    ranking 12th in abundance (1,000 ng/g) among the elements in

    the earth's crust.  It is commonly found associated with iron

    ores in concentrations too low in most cases to make its

    commercial recovery attractive.  The most common manganese

    minerals are:

-------
                                                             15
        Pyrolusite     MnO2  (black)             60-63% Mn



        Psilomelane    BaMnMn °16(OH)   (black)  45-60% Mn



        Hausmannite    Mn3°4  (brown)               72% Mn



             crosite   MnCl-  (light  rose)          47% Mn
Rhodo
        Rhodonite      MnSiC>3  (reddish brown)      42% Mn



        Braunite       3Mn  O3  •  MnSi03  (black)     63% Mn





       Ores  containing less than  40  percent of manganese are



 usually not suitable  for  metallurgical purposes.



       The manganese mining industry in the United  States does



 not  contribute significantly to  air pollution.   Only  1 to  2



 percent of  the total  manganese ore  processed in  this  country


                      14
 is domestically mined   (see Table  5 in  the Appendix).  The



 States of Montana, New Mexico, and  Minnesota have  manganese-

                44,45,58
 producing mines.          Table  6 in the Appendix  shows the



 manganese ore resources in the United States.
 3.2   Production  Sources



 3.2.1 Iron  and  Steel  Industry



      Most  of the manganese  imports are  in the form of



 manganese ores, over  90 percent of which are used  in the  iron


                    45
 and  steel industry-    Therefore, the  smelting and refining



 of the ore  represent  the  largest potential pollution sources



 in the United States.  The capacity of steel blast furnaces



 and  the  location  of ferromanganese furnaces are given in



Tables 7  and 8 in  the  Appendix, and emission rates  are given

-------
                                                            16
in Table 9 in the Appendix.


3.2.1.1  Ferromanganese Blast Furnaces

      Although the number of furnaces producing ferromanganese

is small, the process which they use, if uncontrolled, could

produce more pollution than any of the other metallurgical
          55
processes.    Uncontrolled emissions in 1951 produced as much

as 8,200,000 to 15,500,000 |j.g/m  of exhaust gas, with an

average of 13,700,000 |ag/m .  The emissions from two 350-ton
                                                3
f erromanganese furnaces averaged 16,500,000 [ag/m  in a gas
                 3
volume of 3,920 m /min resulting in approximately 142 tons of

dust per day containing 21 to 36 tons of manganese.  This

suggests that approximately 0.03 to 0.05 tons of manganese per

ton of ore could be emitted.  The ferromanganese blast furnace
                                                         45
production was 651,987 tons in the United States in 1966.

This source could contribute from 19,500 to 32,500 tons of

manganese to the atmosphere each year.

      The particulates from a ferromanganese furnace are

extremely small, with 80 percent ranging in size from 0.1 to

1 |j.  These particulates contain:

                 15-25%  manganese

                0.3-0.5% iron

                  8-15%  sodium and potassium oxides

                  9-19%  silica

                  3-11%  alumina

                  8-15%  calcium oxide

-------
                                                            17
                 4-6%  magnesium oxide

                 5-7%  sulfur

                 1-2%  carbon


3.2.1.2  Electric-Arc Furnaces

      Dust and fume emissions from an electric-arc furnace

average approximately 10.6 Ib/ton of steel melted, the range

being from 4.5 to 29.4 Ib/ton.  These particulates contain

approximately 4 percent of manganous oxide (MnO) with 70 per-
                                                55
cent of the particles less than 5 |j in diameter.    Manganese

emissions from electric-arc furnaces producing ferromanganese

may be higher than from those producing steel.  Electric-arc
                                                         45
furnaces produced 294,223 tons of ferromanganese in 1966.


3.2.1.3  Other Furnaces

      Some manganese is found in the particulate material

emitted from basic oxygen and open-hearth furnaces.  However,
                                        55
these concentrations are relatively low.


3.2.2 Coal

      The concentration of manganese in coal ash varies

between 0.005 and 1.0 percent, depending on the origin of the
     1
coal.

      Analyses of particulate emissions from six different
                                31,57
types of coal-fired power plants      showed that the concen-
                                                           3
tration of manganese emitted ranged between 60 and 400 |_ig/m

as shown in Table 10 in the Appendix.

-------
                                                             18
3.2.3 Fuel Oil.



      Dust emissions from burning residual fuel oil average

                                                        56

about 55,000 Lig/m3 or approximately 2 g/lb of oil fired.



The concentration of manganese dioxide in the particulate is



approximately 400 l-ig/g.  This would result in an emission of



800 |J.g of manganese dioxide per pound of fuel oil burned.  A



boiler burning 1,000 pounds of oil per hour would be



discharging 0.8 g of manganese dioxide into the air per hour.




3.3  Product Sources



      Approximately 150,000 tons of manganese ore are used by


                     45
the chemical industry   annually and in the production of dry-



cell batteries.




3.3.1  Dry-Cell Batteries



      The manufacturing of dry-cell batteries probably does



not constitute an air pollution hazard, although approximately



30,000 tons of high-grade manganese ore are used annually in

              45
this industry.    However, the disposal of old dry-cell



batteries by incineration could possibly be a source of



manganese air pollution.




3.3.2  Chemicals



      Fuel additives represent important manganese chemical

                                       10,11,29,46
products associated with air pollution.             These



additives fall into two classes, antiknock compounds and smoke



inhibitors.  Both classes of organic manganese compounds have

-------
                                                             19
been patented and tested by the Ethyl Corporation.  The most



successful antiknock compound is methylcyclopentadienyl



manganese tricarbonyl, which is mixed with tetraethyl lead to



increase the octane rating of gasoline.  A typical mixture is



given in Table 11 in the Appendix.  More than 2 ml of this



mixture per gallon of gasoline (approximately 36,000 (jg/gal of



manganese) is recommended.  The quantity of this mixture



actually used has not been disclosed.  However, a large



proportion of the manganese chloride produced in the United


                                                    58
States goes into the manufacture of these chemicals.



      Chemical fertilizers containing manganese ethylene-bis-



dithidcarbamate  (maneb) are another possible source of



manganese air pollution.  Approximately 10,000 tons of


                                           58
manganese are used as fertilizers annually.





3.3.3  Other Sources



      Numerous studies  (see list of other references) concern



the use of manganese for the control of sulfur dioxide,



mercaptans, and  sulfides.  This use is primarily in wet



scrubbers and probably does not constitute a large source of



pollution.



      About 10,000 tons of manganese (20,000 to 25,000 tons



of manganese dioxide) are used annually in welding rods and


                          58
fluxes for iron  and steel.    This causes some local



pollution in welding shops, but no information was found



regarding urban  air pollution from this source.

-------
                                                             20
      Permanganates are used in a wide variety of applications,


such as in air pollution control for sulfides and mercaptans,

                                                  58
odor control in barnyards, and in water treatment.    However,


the largest quantity is used by the chemical industry.


Permanganates also have some applications as bactericides,


fungicides, and astringents in greenhouses, fisheries, etc.


      Manganese dioxide is used in safety matches and strikers

                                          58
as well as in fireworks and signal flares.
3.4  Environmental Air Concentrations


      Air quality data obtained from the National Air Sampling

       2,4,6,7
Network        are shown in Table 12 in the Appendix.  These


data show that during 1964 the manganese concentration for the


cities studied ranged up to 10 ^ig/m3 , the average being 0.10


p.g/m3 .  The highest values, up to 10 |ag/m3, have been recorded


in Charleston, W. Va.

-------
                                                                 21
4.  ABATEMENT



          The emission of manganese particulates will be controlled


    at the same time as the particulates from the steel furnaces


    and incinerators.  No special equipment is required to remove


    manganese.  However, the ferromanganese furnace presents


    special problems.  '


          Control of manganese from steel furnaces is accomplished


    by various types of collectors, including electrostatic


    precipitators, high-efficiency wet scrubbers, and fabric

            13 21
    filters.  '    Four physical factors make the dust collection


    economically difficult:  the small particle size (as low as


    0.03 M.) , the large volume of gas, the high gas temperature,


    and the low value of the recovered material.


          Control of emissions from a ferromanganese blast furnace


    is more difficult than from other furnaces because the waste


    gas temperature is hotter and the dust is finer.  Electrostatic


    precipitators have been successful in removing approximately


    80 to 90 percent of the dust.  No economical way of using the


    collected dust has been developed.


          Control of emissions from burning fuels containing


    antiknock and smoke-inhibiting additives may require special


    systems.  The hazards of these organic manganese additives are

                                                   52
    to be studied as required by the Clean Air Act.

                                                                22
5.   ECONOMICS




          No information has been found on the economic losses due




    to manganese air pollution, or on the costs of its abatement.




          Data on the production and consumption of manganese are




    presented in Section 3.

-------
                                                                 23
6.  METHODS OF ANALYSIS




    6.1  Sampling Methods



          Dusts and fumes of manganese compounds may be collected




    by any methods suitable for collection of other dusts and fumes;




    the impinger, electrostatic precipitator, and filters are

                  3,27

    commonly used.






    6.2  Quantitative Methods



          Many methods of analysis have been used for the




    determination of manganese.  In several methods, such as




    atomic absorption, emission spectrography, and neutron




    activation, the chemical species does not matter.  The




    essential requirement is a representative sample in the




    activation site.  With atomic absorption, all of the manganese

                                               32,34,37.40,67

    analyzed must be in solution or suspension.




          With chemical methods, care must be taken to insure that




    the manganese is not only in solution, but also in a single




    oxidation state.  The most common method of determining manganese




    in air samples is a colorimetric method.  In this procedure,




    the manganese is oxidized to permanganate by periodate ions.




    The color of the permanganate ion is very intense and follows




    Beer's law over a large range.  A 0.5-ft3 sample collected  in




    a midget impinger is sufficient to determine manganese at a



                              40
    5,000 |-ig/m  concentration.



          The following sensitivities are listed for the different




    analytical methods:

-------
                                                             24

    Flame photometry '                      0.1-500

      The emission spectrographic method is used to analyze

samples collected by the National Air Sampling Network.  Working

standards are made by diluting a solution containing 20 p.g/0.05ml

by 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ... 1/1024.  The minimum concentration

detectable by the emission spectrograph is 0.011 for urban air

and 0.0060 for nonurban air.  The difference in sensitivity is

due to different extraction methods used in preparing the

sample for emission spectrography.3'8
       Sensitivity depends on interfering elements.
      •'-'These sensitivities were not determined on air samples.

7.   SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS




          Inhalation of manganese oxides may cause chronic manganese




    poisoning or manganic pneumonia.   Chronic manganese poisoning




    is a disease affecting the central nervous system,  resulting in




    total or partial disability if corrective action is not taken.




    Some people are more susceptible  to manganese poisoning than




    others.  Manganic pneumonia is a  croupous pneumonia often




    resulting in death.  The effect of long exposure to low




    concentrations of manganese compounds has not been  determined.



          Manganese compounds are known to catalyze the oxidation




    of other pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide,  to more undesirable




    pollutants—sulfur trioxide, for  example.  Manganese compounds




    may also soil materials.




          The most likely sources of  manganese air pollution are




    the iron and steel industries producing ferromanganese.  Two




    studies, one in Norway and one in Italy,  have shown that the




    emissions from ferromanganese plants can significantly affect




    the health of the population of a community.   Other possible




    sources of manganese air pollution are manganese fuel additives,




    emissions from welding rods, and  incineration of manganese-




    containing products, particularly dry-cell batteries.




    Manganese may be controlled along with the particulates from




    these sources.  Air quality data  in the United States showed




    that the manganese concentration  averaged 0.10 l~i.g/m3 and




    ranged as high as 10 |-ig/m3  in 1964.

      No information was found on the economic costs of



manganese air pollution or on the costs of its abatement.



      Based on the material presented in this report, further



studies in the following areas are suggested:



      (1)  The effect of inhalation over varying periods of



time of low concentrations of the manganese compounds found



in the atmosphere.



      (2)  The chemical composition and particle-size



distribution of the manganese compounds in the atmosphere.



      (3)  The effect of manganese air pollution on commercial



plants and animals.



      (4)  Measurement of the concentration of manganese both



near suspected sources and as emitted from suspected sources.



      (5)  The economic losses due to manganese air pollution.

MCT is toxic in low con-
centrations and has marked
cumulative properties. A
concentration of MCT vapor
of the order of hundred
thousands of M.g/m3 of air
is lethal on a one-time
exposure.  10,000 |-ig/m3
caused severe and. lethal
poisoning when adminis-
tered repeatedly. MCT
concentrations of 1,-000
l~ig/m  affected the nervous
system and gave rise to
early histological changes
in the respiratory tract.
The new antiknock compound
acts as a mild irritant at
the site of application
but does not penetrate the
skin when in oil and gaso-
line solution.  The toxi-
city of MCT is enhanced by
the solvent tetrahydro-
furan used in its manu-
facture. MCT solutions in
this solvent penetrate the
intact skin and give rise
to poisoning

These mines contain zinc
and manganese deposits.
A diagnosis of manganism
has recently been assigned
to the case which Schlokow
considered to be one of
zinc intoxication

Baader has confirmed the
cases of manganism detected
by the Egyptian authors;
and during the same voyage
in Africa, he has detected
a few cases of manganism in
miners working in the man-
ganese mines of Morocco

The group of subjects ex-
amined consisted of miners
who had worked in the mine
for more than 10 years.
These authors have also
described the presence of
manganoconiosis and man-
ganic pneumonia in the
pathology of miners. This
group also included 11
probable cases

Examination of these miners
was repeated in 1953 and
1956

Observations

Examination of these miners
was repeated in 1956

The authors explain the
absence of manganism by
the marked infiltration of
water into the mining
depo sits
Another case was diagnosed
by the same author in a
drill operator who worked
in another mine

75% of the miners examined
have worked in the mine for
more than 10 years. These
39 miners exhibited dis-
orders of the central ner-
vous system which ranged
from the a stheno vegetative
syndrome to the extrapyra-
midal syndrome.
40 other miners displayed
disorders of the peripheral
nervous system. These
authors have also described
the presence of mangano-
coniosis and manganic pneu-
monia in the pathology of
these miners
The groups of subjects ex-
amined consist of miners
who had a high degree of
toxic exposure and of those
who exhibited clinical dis-
orders for which manganism
was suspected
                                                                  (continued)

Observations
158 cases of manganism
were found among the drill
operators

These authors have also
described the presence of
mangano con io s i s
30% of the examined miners
suffered from shaking of
the body and of the extrem-
ities, micrography, dis-
orders of walking or of the
coordination of movements,
and especially from sub-
jective disorders. During
the period of examination
(1950-59), the authors
noted the gradual worsen-
ing of the clinical pic-
tures
