**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed. Contact with combustible material may cause
fire. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation and possible burns. May cause
chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
May be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes skin irritation
and possible burns. May cause skin rash (in milder cases), and cold
and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe and permanent damage to the
digestive tract. May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation
with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. May cause liver and kidney
damage. May cause perforation of the digestive tract. May cause
central nervous system effects. May be harmful if swallowed. May
form methemoglobin which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis
(bluish discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the
blood). In high doses, manganese may increase anemia by interfering
with iron absorption.
Inhalation:
Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Causes respiratory tract
irritation with possible burns. May cause central nervous system
effects such as nausea and headache.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. Effects may be delayed. Laboratory experiments have
resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic manganese toxicity through
inhalation may result in "manganism", which is a disease of the
central nervous system involving psychic and neurological disorders.
May cause kidney damage. May cause adverse reproductive effects.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. 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 immediately.
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:
Absorption of this product into the body may cause cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Moderate degrees of cyanosis need to be treated only by supportive
measures: bed rest and oxygen inhalation. If cyanosis is severe,
intravenous injection of Methylene Blue, 1mg/kg of body weight may
be of value.
**** 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be
generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Some oxidizers may
react explosively with hydrocarbons(fuel). May accelerate burning if
involved in a fire. Containers may explode when heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after
fire is out. For small fires, do NOT use dry chemicals, carbon
dioxide, halon or foams. USE WATER ONLY. For large fires, flood
fire area with water from a distance.
**** 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. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Do not use
combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing
and other combustible materials. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not
store near combustible materials. Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not store near combustible
materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly
closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances.
**** 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
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
