ACUTE EFFECTS
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.
MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
HARMFUL IF INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN.
CAUSES EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION.
