Biomarkers of manganese exposure in pregnant women and children living in an agricultural community in California
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient but at high exposure levels is a neurotoxicant. There is no wellvalidated biomarker to assess perinatal Mn exposure. A total of 75 mother-child pairs provided blood, urine, and/or ... -
Caregiving and infants' neurodevelopment in rural Costa Rica: Results from the Infants’ Environmental Health Study (ISA)
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Early caregiving is one of the strongest influences on children's development, and among the most significant modifiable environmental factor. The aim of this study was to explore the association between quality of ... -

Evaluación de la acumulación de metales (Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Mn, Pb, Zn) y mercurio total (THg) en sedimentos, macroalgas (Cryptonemia crenulata) y esponjas (Cinachyrella kuekenthali) del ecosistema coralino de Moín (Limón, Costa Rica) : un enfoque ecotoxicológico
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica). Instituto Regional de Estudios en Sustancias Tóxicas. Maestría en Ecotoxicología Tropical, 2018)Se evalúa la contaminación de siete metales y mercurio total en tres zonas del ecosistema coralino de Moín ubicadas dentro del área de influencia directa del proyecto "Ampliación de la Terminal Portuaria Petrolera del ... -
Maternal blood and hair manganese concentrations, fetal growth, and length of gestation in the ISA cohort in Costa Rica
(Environmental Research, 2015-01)Background: Animal studies have shown that both deficiency and excess manganese (Mn) may result in decreased fetal size and weight, but human studies have reported inconsistent results. Methods: We examined the association ... -
Prenatal and postnatal manganese teeth levels and neurodevelopment at 7, 9, and 10.5 years in the CHAMACOS cohort
(Elsevier, 2015-11)Background: Numerous cross-sectional studies of school-age children have observed that exposure to manganese (Mn) adversely affects neurodevelopment. However, few prospective studies have looked at the effects of both ... -
Prenatal mancozeb exposure, excess manganese, and neurodevelopment at 1 year of age in the Infants' Environmental Health (ISA) study
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2018-05-29)BACKGROUND: Although growing evidence suggests that early-life excess manganese (Mn) impairs neurodevelopment, data on the neurodevelopmental effects of mancozeb, a fungicide containing Mn, and its main metabolite ...
