Daily Manganese Exposure Estimates for Children Aged 6 Months to 5 Years

Seth H. Frisbie's dataset provides daily manganese (Mn) exposure estimates in milligrams per day (mg/day) for children from 6 months to 5 years old. The data is based on measured Mn content in products, with separate estimates for each age covered by product label indications. It was last updated on March 18, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assessing compliance with recommended daily intake levels based on measured manganese content.
• Modeling age-specific exposure trajectories from 6 months to 5 years.
• Comparing measured manganese concentrations against labeled concentrations for product safety evaluation.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific age range (6 months to 5 years) relevant for early childhood development.
• Provides separate estimates for each age covered, allowing for granular analysis.
• Data is based on measured Mn content, not just label claims.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
