Men exposed to manganese dusts showed a decrease in fertility. Chronic manganese
poisoning primarily involves the central nervous system. Early symptoms include languor,
sleepiness and weakness in the legs. A stolid mask-like appearance of the face, emotional
disturbances such as uncontrollable laughter and a spastic gait with tendency to fall in
walking are findings in more advanced cases. High incidence of pneumonia has been found
in workers exposed to the dust or fume of some manganese compounds., Material is
