Funded Activity Summary

Metal emissions from petrol and the future health of children. We aim to determine the contribution of manganese, lead, and other metal emissions from motor vehicles to the environment and exposure of children. Manganese is of potential concern because of (a) its recent introduction as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) in Australia as a fuel additive to replace lead and (b) the lack of information on environmental levels, exposure, and long-term health effects, especially in children. This project conforms with a Designated National Research Priority and is a collaborative project bringing together researchers from academia, CSIRO, industry, and the US. Environmental Protection Agency.
