Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks

and at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved underappropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique

(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of

contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.

Wash and dry hands.

Body Protection

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle

respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering

controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use

respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as

NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Additional Information

RTECS: Not available

Men exposed to manganese dusts showed a decrease in fertility. Chronic manganese poisoning

primarily involves the central nervous system. Early symptoms include languor, sleepiness and

weakness in the legs. A stolid mask-like appearance of the face, emotional disturbances such as

uncontrollable laughter and a spastic gait with tendency to fall in walking are findings in more

advanced cases. High incidence of pneumonia has been found in workers exposed to the

dust or fume of some manganese compounds., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical,

and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
