The Second International Conference on the neurotoxicity and prevention of adverse manganese health effects will be held September 25-28, 2016 at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. This is the 28th meeting in the International Neurotoxicology Conference series.


The overall objective of this conference is to bring together experts from academia, governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, industry, and labor organizations from around the world.
