Dangers in the Shower

Water Conditioning & Purification Magazine International
October 2005, Volumn 47, Number 10

A new study from the School of Medicine at Wake Forest suggests that inhalation of water vapor containing manganese in the shower can cause permanent nervous system damage. According to an analysis by John Spangler, M.D. and Robert Elsner, Ph.D., adults who showered for 10 minutes each day were likely to have been exposed to 50 time the level of manganese needed to cause brain damage in lab rats. While the researchers did not delinate how much manganese exposure was needed to cause brain damage in an adult human, they did speculate that all individuals, especially the immunocompromised, are at risk of manganese toxcity.
