“…Although more work is needed to determine the health effects associated with prenatal Mn exposure measured in toenails and hair, significant negative associations between performance on neuropsychological tests and Mn concentration in hair and fingernails have been reported in adults (37). …”

“…A thorough, yet rapid process must be developed in order to eliminate the external contamination before hair and nail samples can be used in research. Regardless, studies of residents living near a ferromanganese refinery in Brazil have shown that significant correlations exist between hair and fingernail Mn levels and the performance on neuropsychological tests [130]. Grashow and colleagues have recently suggested using toenail Mn concentration as a biomarker of occupational welding fume exposure [131]; their study, however, did not relate the toenail Mn level to any biological outcomes.…”

“…Environmental studies have most often included rural and suburban populations living close to industries (Bowler et al, 2011; Menezes-Filho et al, 2011; Mergler et al, 1999; Haynes et al, 2010; Lucchini et al, 2014; Viana et al, 2014), and rural populations exposed through contaminated well water (Khan et al, 2012; Wasserman et al, 2006). …”

“…A recent study by Viana et al (2014) investigated the neuropsychological effects of environmental Mn exposure from industrial emissions in an adult population from Brazil. They found an association between Mn in hair and fingernail concentrations and tests of visual working memory, as well as tests designed to measure intelligence.…”
