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 ...
Manganese in teeth and neurodevelopment in young Mexican-American children
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
Introduction: Manganese (Mn) is an essential nutrient but higher exposure has been associated with poorer neurodevelopment in children. Methods: We measured Mn levels in prenatal (Mnpre) (n=197) and postnatal (Mnpost) ...
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 ...
Blood and hair manganese concentrations in pregnant women from the infants' environmental health study (ISA) in Costa Rica
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03)
Manganese (Mn), an essential nutrient, is a neurotoxicant at high concentrations. We measured Mn concentrations in
repeated blood and hair samples collected from 449 pregnant women
living near banana plantations with ...
