. children exposed to high levels of manganese
through drinking water
experience cognitive and behavioral deficits
[Environ Health Perspect. 2007], and
significantly lower scores on tests of intellectual function

Another study associated high levels of manganese in tap water
with hyperactive behavioral disorders in children
