Manganese

Manganese is a gray metallic element. When its oxide is inhaled by miners in poorly ventilated mines underground, it can cause brain damage and symptoms similar to Parkinson's. In small quantities, manganese is necessary for the human body to maintain its normal functioning (see Microelement). Designation: MP.

Manganese is a gray metallic element that is widely used in various industries. It has high corrosion resistance and hardness, making it an ideal material for making tools, equipment and other products.

However, manganese can be hazardous to human health. Miners in poorly ventilated mines may experience symptoms similar to Parkinson's syndrome if they inhale the manganese oxide that forms when working with it. This can lead to brain damage and other serious illnesses.

At the same time, manganese plays an important role in maintaining normal functioning of the body. It is involved in metabolic processes, the synthesis of enzymes and hormones, and is also a necessary element for the growth and development of bones.

Manganese deficiency can lead to various diseases such as anemia, osteoporosis, diabetes and others. Therefore, to maintain health, it is necessary to consume foods rich in manganese, such as green vegetables, fruits, nuts and meat.

Manganese is an important element in human life, but its use must be strictly controlled and safe for health.
