	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.		In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Shortness of breath.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion	Sore throat.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water. Store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Causes serious eye irritation May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 9; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Dry. Well closed. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance PINK HYGROSCOPIC CRYSTALS. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating. This produces sulfur oxides and manganese oxides. This generates toxic hazard.	Formula: MnSO₄.H₂O Molecular mass: 169.0 Relative density (water = 1): 2.95 Solubility in water, g/100ml: 76.2 (freely soluble) Melting point: 400-450°C

Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
Decomposes on heating. This produces sulfur oxides and manganese oxides. This generates toxic hazard.

Formula: MnSO₄.H₂O
Molecular mass: 169.0
Relative density (water = 1): 2.95
Solubility in water, g/100ml: 76.2 (freely soluble)
Melting point: 400-450°C

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance may have effects on the central nervous system. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
