Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: black crystalline powder.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. May
cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause central
nervous system effects. Inhalation of fumes may cause metal-fume
fever. May cause adverse reproductive effects based upon animal
studies.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, lungs,
reproductive system.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Ingestion of large amounts may cause
CNS depression. In high doses, manganese may increase anemia by
interfering with iron absorption. Although they are poorly absorbed
through the intestine, inorganic manganese salts may produce
hypoglycemia and decreased calcium blood levels should absorption
occur.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Harmful if inhaled.
Aspiration may cause severe pneumonia. 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 Parkinson's disease. Adverse reproductive effects
have been reported in animals. 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:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious
and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
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. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire. Substance is noncombustible.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.,) away
from spilled material.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Do not breathe dust, mist, or vapor. Keep container tightly
closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Keep from contact with clothing and
other combustible materials. Inform laundry personnel of
contaminant's hazards.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Keep away from reducing agents.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
