SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1. Information on toxicological effects

General information
This material contains manganese compounds. Manganese may enter the body via the lungs or digestive tract, the pulmonary route being
the most common and presents the greatest danger. Dust from the atmosphere or from contaminated hands may also enter the mouth and
be swallowed. Absorbed manganese accumulates in the blood until a certain threshold value is exceeded after which further absorbtion
leads to deposition in the majority of the body’s organs and chronic manganese poisoning results. Chronic occupational poisoning affects
the central nervous system. The initial stage of the disease is the most difficult to detect but it is the most important as early removal from
the source of exposure may arrest the course of the disease. Symptoms include loss of weight, loss of appetite, headaches, somnolence,
indifference and apathy. Although manganese poisoning is a notifiable industrial disease affecting the central nervous system its
occurrence is extremely rare and it is thought to arise only after ingestion of substantial quantities over prolonged periods.
Inhalation
Harmful by inhalation.
Ingestion
Harmful if swallowed.
Skin contact
Powder may irritate skin.
Eye contact
Particles in the eyes may cause irritation and smarting.
