Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) has been used as an antiknock agent in gasoline in Canada since 1976, and it has now been approved for use in the United States and other countries. It has been suggested that health risks due to manganese emissions from automobiles should be much lower than those due to lead- and organic-based additives, which MMT replaces. This is being verified by an extensive research program at the University of Montreal, where manganese has been determined in all environmental compartments that may contribute to human exposure. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was found to be the ideal method for manganese determination in all the environmental materials studied.
