TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames. NO contact with water.	Carbon dioxide, dry powder. NO hydrous agents. NO water.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT!
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety goggles, 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		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. (Extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles.)	Xi Symbol R: 37-43 S: (2-)8-24/25-46 UN Hazard Class: 4.2 UN Subsidiary Risks: 4.3 UN Pack Group: III	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Marine pollutant.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	STORAGE

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
YELLOW POWDER OR CRYSTALS

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on contact with acids and moisture producing toxic and flammable gases including hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK: Sh; (DFG 2003).

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the kidneys and central nervous system, resulting in kidney impairment and neurologic, neuropsychiatric disorders (manganism).

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Decomposes below melting point at 192-204°C Density: 1.92 g/cm³ Solubility in water: very poor	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.
