EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE
EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF DUST IS IRRITATING AND MAY BE SEVERELY DAMAGING
TO RESPIRATORY PASSAGES AND/OR LUNGS.
CONTACT WITH SKIN OR EYES MAY CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION OR BURNS.
SUBSTANCE IS READILY ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN.
INGESTION MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION, AND
BURNS TO MOUTH AND THROAT.
PROLONGED INHALATION OF MANGANESE IN THE FORM OF ITS INORGANIC COMPOUNDS
MAY CAUSE MANGANISM.
TARGET ORGANS
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD, KIDNEYS

DAMAGED SKIN
ROUTES OF ENTRY
INGESTION, INHALATION
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
CALL A PHYSICIAN.
IF SWALLOWED, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING; IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER. FOLLOW WITH DILUTED VINEGAR, FRUIT JUICE OR WHITES OF EGGS, BEATEN
WITH WATER.
IF INHALED, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
IN CASE OF CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES OR SKIN WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
