A few reports tell that toxic symptoms of manganese poisoning may appear as psychological disturbances, sometimes assuming a character of acute psychosis (Cotzias, 1958; Jonderko et al. , 1964). We did not find any information dealing with maintenance of intellectual efficiency during the process of manganese poisoning in the available bibliography. We also found nothing about the influence of psychological and neurlogical disturbances on the accident rate among workers exposed to the toxic influence of manganese. Answering these questions was the aim of our work.
