Manganese is a mineral that is found in ores around the world, especially in Russia, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Gabon, and India. While manganese is necessary for human health, overexposure can cause neurological issues. It has been used in paints, coins, steel production, glassmaking and pigments throughout history. Prolonged exposure to manganese dust or in drinking water has been linked to health problems. Manganese resembles iron but with a silver-gray color and is vital for steel production today.

MANGANESE By: Shannon Lorusso
FUN FACTS It is thought that overexposure to manganese can cause some neurological (brain) disorders. Although we need it to survive, our bodies cannot store manganese. Manganese dioxide was used as paint many thousands of years ago. An adult human will have a total of around 12 mg of manganese in their body.
WHERE TO FIND MANGANESE Most today are found in Russia, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Gabon, and India Usually found in mineral ores
MANGANESE IN HISTORY Cave paintings dating from the Stone Age contained manganese pigments. During World War II, manganese replaced most of the nickel in US coins, as nickel became scarce.
WARNING FACTS While manganese is non-toxic in small amounts, its dust can have harmful effects. Exposure to manganese is covered by OSHA. Prolonged exposure to manganese , especially in drinking or shower water, has been linked to intellectual impairments, childhood disorders, degenerative diseases, and more.
MORE USES Manganese dioxide is fairly common in nature. It is vital for the production of steel, accounting for about 90% of the manganese mined today. It has also been used for glassmaking, pigments, and production of stainless steel.
SIMILAR TO IRON Manganese resembles iron, but with a silver gray color. It is part of the iron group of elements. It rusts in a matter very similar to iron in water.
