Aerial application of mancozeb and urinary ethylene thiourea (ETU) concentrations among pregnant women in Costa Rica: the Infants' Environmental Health Study (ISA).
(Research: Children´s health, 2014-12)
Background: Mancozeb and its main metabolite ethylene thiourea (ETU) may alter thyroid
function; thyroid hormones are essential for fetal brain development. In Costa Rica, mancozeb is
aerially sprayed at large-scale ...
Volumen #12: Factores determinantes de las concentraciones maternas de manganeso durante el embarazo, y su asociación con el crecimiento fetal en la cohorte Infantes y Salud Ambiental (ISA) en Costa Rica
(SALTRA / IRET-UNA, 2015-04-01)
Resumen de los resultados \nLos fungicidas etilenobisditiocarbamatos (EBDC, por sus siglas en inglés) mancozeb y maneb contienen cantidades sustanciales de Mn (21% en peso) y, consecuentemente, pueden constituir una fuente ...
Maternal blood and hair manganese concentrations, fetal growth, and length of gestation in the ISA cohort in Costa Rica
(Environmental Research, 2015-01)
Background: Animal studies have shown that both deficiency and excess manganese (Mn) may result in decreased fetal size and weight, but human studies have reported inconsistent results. Methods: We examined the association ...

(Elsevier, 2015)
Background: Animal studies have shown that both deficiency and excess manganese (Mn) may result in
decreased fetal size and weight, but human studies have reported inconsistent results.

Blood and hair manganese concentrations in pregnant women from the infants' environmental health study (ISA) in Costa Rica
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03)
Manganese (Mn), an essential nutrient, is a neurotoxicant at high concentrations. We measured Mn concentrations in
repeated blood and hair samples collected from 449 pregnant women
living near banana plantations with ...
