manganese biological monitoring

Hello all,

for those still interested in this issue:

The possibilities for monitoring exposure to manganese
by a biological method are still very limited. Most
authors have concluded that there is no direct relation
between manganese concentration in biological
material and the severity of chronic manganese poisoning,
probably because individual susceptibility to the disease
plays an important role.The measurement of manganese
in urine can probably be recommended to confirm the
absorption of manganese, but no biological threshold limit
value can yet be proposed.( Lauwerys =26 Hoet in Industrial
Chemical Exposure)=5F

Later,
