Manganese ore itself is not radioactive, so it does not produce radiation. Manganese ore is a mineral resource whose main components are manganese compounds, such as manganese dioxide, manganese carbonate, etc., which are not radioactive.
However, it should be noted that radioactive substances may be produced during the handling and processing of manganese ore. For example, in electric welding operations, manganese precipitates may be radioactive, mainly because the smoke and gases produced during the welding process contain radioactive isotopes. In addition, some manganese ores may absorb natural radioactive elements during their formation. Although this situation is relatively rare, it still needs attention.
Therefore, although manganese ore itself is not radioactive, appropriate protective measures need to be taken during handling and processing to prevent the possible impact of radioactive substances on the human body.
