The main finding of this study is the presence of attention impairments associated with high levels of air Manganese (Mn) exposure. These results confirm previous studies, in which cognitive impairment is reported for an exposed population. The study was carried out in a mining district located in Hidalgo State, Mexico, with 288 adult participants. Air and blood Mn concentrations were determined, and neuropsychological tests were administered to explore cognitive functions and depression.
