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 Parkinson's 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.
