Summary

Because manganese is a natural component of all living things, food is the primary source of manganese for most people. Manganese is also found in small quantities in drinking water. Since manganese is an essential trace element, small amounts are necessary for good health. However, studies conducted on Chilean manganese miners in the early 1900s showed that the miners had developed serious neurological and psychiatric problems, including movement difficulties characteristic of Parkinson’s Disease (PD).
