TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Above 96°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	Above 96°C use a closed system, ventilation.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! STRICT HYGIENE!
Inhalation	Abdominal pain. Dizziness. Headache. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Cough. Sore throat.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety spectacles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion	(See Inhalation).	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention.

On combustion, forms irritating and toxic fumes including manganese oxides and carbon monoxide. The substance decomposes under the influence of light.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV: as manganese 0.2 mg/mł, as TWA; (skin); (ACGIH 2003).

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

INHALATION RISK:
A harmful contamination of the air will will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance is irritating to the eyes and the skin. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system, kidneys, liver and lungs, resulting in tissue lesions. Exposure at high levels may result in death. Medical observation is indicated.
