Abstract
In an article published in the August 1975, Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association entitled “Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl as an Antiknock: Composition and Pate of Manganese Exhaust Products,” the authors conclude that, “… use of MMT in gasoline will result in no public health hazards, because of the low toxicity of manganese and because of the very low concentration of MMT that would be used in gasoline …. If all gasoline contained 0.1 g Mn/gal, the amount of airborne Mn its exhaust would contribute to urban areas would contribute to urban areas would be only 0.02-0.2 μg/m3, with a median value of 0.05 μg/m3.”
