Acute exposure of laboratory mice to manganese oxide

B Adkins Jr et al. Am Ind Hyg Assoc J. 1980 Jul.

Abstract

An acute inhalation exposure of laboratory mice to respirable Mn3O4 aerosols is described. The generation system consisted of a Wright dust generator which produced 1.40 micrometer aerosols. A non-linear loss of deposited manganese from mouse lungs over the inital 24-hour post-exposure period was observed. Systemic distribution of the manganese was observed in various tissues following exposure.
