MARIETTA: A government-funded study will try to find out whether residents are being harmed by an emission from a plant in Southeast Ohio.
The Eramet Marietta facility produces alloys that include manganese, a naturally occurring metal needed by the human body but one experts say can produce symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease at high doses.
The $200,000 study, paid for by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will focus on effects of low-level exposure to airborne manganese.
In August, blood work and other tests will compare 100 Marietta residents with 100 people in Mount Vernon in central Ohio.
Lead researcher Rosemarie Bowler, a neuropsychologist from San Francisco State University, says initial results will be ready next summer.
