Researchers are looking for seven and eight year old children living in the Marietta area to participate in a five year study.

The study will examine how exposure to manganese and other metals affects a child's neurological and cognitive development.

Dr. Erin Haynes from the University of Cincinnati is spearheading the study with a $2.6 million federal grant.

Parents interested in having their kids participate can contact Marietta College Psychology Professor Dr. Mary Barnas.

Her number is (740) 376- 4766 and her email is mary.barnas@marietta.edu.
