hypothesis that Maneb use increases agricultural soil Mn levels, and thereby may<br />

serve as a source <strong>of</strong> increased house dust Mn loadings in agricultural communities.<br />

Procedures: Agricultural soil was aliquoted in 6x6x8 cm containers and treated<br />

with 1) Control (DI water vehicle), 2) Annual Equivalent Maneb application<br />

(Maneb 80 WP), or 3) 5x Annual Equivalent Maneb (n=5/trt). Maneb was applied<br />

every other day over 6 days (3 applications total) to achieve soil surface application<br />

levels equivalent to annual or 5x annual use. Plots were maintained in full sunlight<br />

and watered daily. Soil was then sieved to
