MHRP Showcase Conference
Wed., June 24th - Thurs., June 25th, 2009 |
The Manganese Health Research Program (MHRP), an IMnI-driven 5 year research program totalling over $5M US, and designed to better understand the effects of Mn on human health and fill in knowledge gaps, is coming to completion. By the time the MHRP comes to an end on January 31, 2010, it will have generated 17 separate studies, involving a total of over 100 scientists from the USA, Europe, Russia and China.
The MHRP Showcase Conference held outside Washington, D.C, at the end of June, showcased the results of many of the studies.
The research presentations were closely followed by a panel discussion of experts (from academia, regulatory bodies and industry), with the aim of proposing new directions for Mn research.
Professor Len Levy, Consultant to the IMnI, and Dr Doreen McGough, IMnI’s OHES Manager, are currently writing an overview of the MHRP with two distinct aims:
-
Highlight outcomes of those projects of short-term relevance to industry;
-
Propose future directions for Mn research.
Their overview will be made available to members in September.

THE MANGANESE SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME |
| |
The International Manganese Institute (IMnI) is at an exciting and critical stage in developing a sustainability programme. Contracted to Hatch, the Toronto consulting firm, the programme will be instituted in a timely manner in order to fit within the IMnI 5 year plan with the active participation of IMnI members. IMnI strongly believes that a shared understanding of sustainability will be achieved and responsible business practices will be ensured through implementation of the sustainability programme.
Hatch has conducted a desktop review of the landscape of sustainability relevant to our industry. The review consisted of two parallel efforts, one was to benchmark IMnI against other metals industry associations, and the second was a high level regulatory review.
