The objectives of this project were to obtain, organize, summarize, and synthesize relevant literature information on the effects of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) on Model Year 2000 and newer gasoline vehicles. These objectives do not include interpretation of reported results, or judgement as to which reports are more reliable than others. The literature review focused on reported effects of MMT on engine and emissions control hardware, and how these effects may impact the durability and performance of such systems ? including the impacts upon criteria pollutant emissions. Particular attention was paid to the effects in modern, Tier 2 vehicles (and similar technology vehicles), which are equipped with advanced emissions control systems, including high cell density, close-coupled (HCD-CC or HDCC) catalysts.
