Section 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful : danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure through inhalation and if swallowed. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause mild eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Low hazard for usual industrial handling.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. The lowest exposure concentration of manganese at which early effects on the CNS and the lungs may occur is still unknown. However, once neurological signs are present, they tend to continue and worsen after exposure ends.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation or ingestion may result in manganism characterized by neurological symptoms such as headache, apathy, and weakness of the legs, followed by psychosis and neurological symptoms similar to those of Parkinsons disease. May impair fertility. Other chronic effects from inhaling high amounts of manganese include an increased incidence of cough and bronchitis and susceptibility to infectious lung disease.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Material will not burn.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam.
