Hi Kurt,
Per our off-line conversation, I will be glad to try to help you. Send
me the data. The one below, of course, is great. There was no
detectable manganese in the leachate so you don't need to worry about it.

Over a year ago I sent 6 mugs to the Alfred Analytical Laboratory for food
safeness testing. All of the mugs were glazed with the same glaze. Then
each mug was stained with a different soluble salt solution and tested by
the lab.
Following testing ($120; 6 ASTM tests @ $10 each and then 6 metal tests @
$10 each) I received written results with no explanation that made sense to
me in layman's terms. I contacted a chemist here at the university and a
hazardous waste specialist for help in interpreting the test results and
I'm still at a loss as to what they mean.
If any one can provide some insight I'd appreciate it. In fact, I will
bring the test results to the Clayart room to show anyone who might be
able to help. I don't know if the result means that the chemical release
is hazardous or not.
Here is the test report for the mug for Manganese:
Method Code EPA200.7
Method Detection Limit 0.01
Result <0.01
Unit MG/L
