#SOLUTION PRECIPITATE CALCULATOR MAC#
There are several analytical methods available for the analysis of total manganese in drinking water at levels well below the proposed MAC and AO. Based on this review, the proposed drinking water guideline for manganese is a maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) of 0.1 mg/L (100 µg/L), based on infants, the most sensitive population.ĭuring its fall 2015 meeting, the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water reviewed the guideline technical document on manganese and gave approval for this document to undergo public consultation. It incorporates new studies and approaches and takes into consideration the availability of appropriate treatment technology. This guideline technical document reviews and assesses all identified health risks associated with manganese in drinking water. In its permanganate form, it is also used as an oxidizing agent in the treatment of drinking water. Manganese is used in various industries, including in the steel industry, in the manufacture of various products (e.g., fireworks, dry-cell batteries, fertilizers, fungicides and cosmetics and paints). Manganese may be present in water in the environment from natural sources (rock and soil weathering) or as a result of human activities (such as mining, industrial discharges and landfill leaching). It is not found in the elemental form in the environment, but can exist in several oxidation states. Manganese occurs naturally in the environment and is widely distributed in air, water and soil. The document provides updated data and information related to exposure to manganese in Canada and to analytical methods and treatment technologies available at the municipal and residential scales. The proposed AO of 0.02 mg/L (20 µg/L) would minimize the occurrence of discoloured water complaints and improve consumer confidence in drinking water quality. Similar effects have been observed in epidemiological studies conducted in children. The proposed MAC of 0.1 mg/L (100 µg/L) is based on neurological effects observed in rodents. This expanded and updated document proposes both a maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) and an aesthetic objective for total manganese in drinking water. The existing guideline on manganese, last updated in 1987, established an aesthetic objective (AO) of 0.05 mg/L (50 µg/L), based on treatment limitations as well as taste and staining of laundry and plumbing fixtures. The purpose of this consultation is to solicit comments on the proposed guideline, on the approach used for its development and on the potential economic costs of implementing it, as well as to determine the availability of additional exposure data. The Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water (CDW) has assessed the available information on manganese with the intent of updating the current drinking water guideline and guideline technical document on manganese in drinking water.
