Economic implications of manganese neurotoxicity

NeuroToxicology
Summary
This review discussed factors to consider for monetizing the economic costs associated with declining capacities in the context of manganese-induced neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease). The author suggested that slight elevations in airborne manganese may produce a small but economically significant shift to an earlier onset of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease.
