pdf Scientific Criteria Document on Mn
(published in October 2004)
The Scientific Criteria Document for Mn and Inorganic Mn compounds, independently co-authored by the Institute for Environment and Health (UK) and the Institute of Occupational Medicine (Scotland), with financial support from the IMnI, is available. The Criteria Document provides a critical review of all published scientific literature on Mn, pinpoints research gaps and, based on the available quality research, proposes an occupational exposure limit.
