Section VI: Health Hazard Data
Inhalation
Primary Route of Exposure:
Relevant Routes of Exposure:
EYE CONTACT: Particulate is a physical eye irritant.
SKIN CONTACT: Low toxicity by skin contact.
INHALATION: Chronic overexposure by inhalation of airborne particulate may irritate upper
respiratory system as well as the throat. Possible slurred speech, and/or unsteady gait from
extremely high exposure.
INGESTION: Unlikely route of exposure; no hazard in normal industrial use. Small amounts
(< tablespoonful) swallowed during normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury,
however, swallowing larger amounts may cause injury. If ingested in sufficient quantity, may
cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Symptoms may include irritation, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Acute and Chronic effects of Exposure:
Irritation from excessive exposure to skin, eyes, nose, throat and respiratory system. Exposure via
inhalation to heavy concentrations of dust containing manganese compounds for as little as three
months have affected the central nervous system. The excessive inhalation of manganese
compounds usually begins with complaints of languor and sleepiness. This is followed by
weakness in the legs and the development of stolid, mask-like faces. The patient speaks with a
slow monotonous voice. Then muscular twitching appears varying from a fine tremor of the
hands to coarse, rhythmical movements of the arms, legs, and trunk. There is a slight increase in
tendon reflexes, ankle and patellar clonus, and a typical Parkinsonian slapping gate.
(Dust) tearing of eyes, burning sensation in the throat, cough, chest discomfort.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
The excessive inhalation of mineral dust may aggravate pre-existing chronic lung conditions
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
such as, but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma.
Not a reproductive hazard.
Reproductive Hazards:
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately wash affected area with mild soap and water to remove any
dust adhering to the skin. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INHALATION: If exposed to excessive levels of dust or fumes, remove to fresh air and seek
medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel, and get medical attention.
IF INGESTED: Unlikely route of exposure. If ingested in sufficient quantity and victim is
conscious, give 1-2 glasses of water or milk. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Leave decision to induce vomiting to qualified medical personnel, since
particles may be aspirated into the lungs. Seek immediate medical attention.
Section VII: Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE
CONTAINMENT: Product is dry solid (granular or powder) and not readily soluble in water.
MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
However, prevent spilled product from entering streams, water bodies, and wastewater
systems.
CLEANUP: Vacuum or sweep up dry material and place in a container for reuse. Avoid
creating excessive airborne dust. Cleanup personnel need to wear approved respiratory
protection (air-purifying or air-supply), gloves, long-sleeved clothing and goggles to prevent
irritation from contact and inhalation.
EVACUTATION: Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: No data available on any adverse effects of this
material on the environment.
COLLECTION: If possible, collect and reuse spilled product.
Waste Disposal Method:
RCRA: This product, as manufactured, is not a RCRA listed hazardous waste and does not
exhibit any characteristics of a hazardous waste, including toxicity (by EPA TCLP method).

USDOT DATA:
UN code assigned. No placard required for transportation.
None
Other Precutions:
Section VIII: Control Measures
If user operations generate dust, fume, or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne
Engineering Controls:
contaminants below the exposure limits listed in Section 2.
Eye Protection:
Corrosive to eyes. Wear protective safety goggles when dust generation is likely.
Skin Protection: Wear clothing sufficient to cover the skin, safety shoes, and leather gloves for hand protection
against dry material.
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection (air purifying or air supplying) when
concentrations are above exposure limit value. A respiratory protection program that meets
OSHA 29 CFR part 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant the use of a respirator.
Wash thoroughly after using product. Wash contaminated clothing. Wash hands before
Work and Hygienic Practices:
eating or drinking.
