According to EPA estimates, increase in pollution will result in $1.7 billion toll in higher public health costs, amounting to 230 deaths a year, 720 admissions to hospitals and emergency rooms, 18,000 asthma attacks, and 20,000 respiratory symptoms among children with asthma. Instead of implementing fine particle pollution rules, the Bush Administration is saving industrial boiler companies $170 million, which is far less than what health risks are being presented according to critics. Boilers release pollutants, including manganese, which can result in neurological damage when exposed at high levels.
Manganese in the air can cause health problems such as headaches, nausea, and vision problems. When tested, air quality reports have found levels of manganese to be above acceptable levels. People living in areas that may have high levels of pollutants in the air worry about the effect exposure can have with children development and long-term health.
