Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Inhalation: Excessive exposure cases chronic manganese poisoning, with damage to the central nervous system. Removal from exposure arrests the disease and some improvements may follow. Early symptoms include loss of appetite, headaches, dizziness, indifference and apathy. Later symptoms include disturbances in gait and speech, rigid facial expressions (mask like) and tremors of the limbs. Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal upsets, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms of chronic exposure are as for the inhalation route, but the stomach absorbs manganese dioxide very slowly, so the effects are much smaller. Eyes: May cause physical irritation and inflammation. Skin: The material is not a primary irritant, but as with any abrasive powder it may give rise to minor irritation. The material can dehydrate skin and mucous membranes.
