This note describes some measurements of manganese concentrations and manganese emission rates, categorized as to vehicle type, from cars and trucks at two tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. These measurements were made during the period that methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) came into use as an alternative to organo-lead compounds for improving combustion in gasoline engines.
