EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: pink solid.
Warning! Harmful if inhaled or 
swallowed. May cause eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May cause lung 
damage. May cause central nervous system effects. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture 
from the air). 
Target Organs: Central nervous system, 
lungs, reproductive system. 
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.

      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: 
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
