| IMPORTANT DATA |
Physical State; Appearance
PINK HYGROSCOPIC CRYSTALS.Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating producing sulfur oxides and manganese oxides. Occupational exposure limits
TLV: as Mn 0.2 mg/m³ as TWA; (ACGIH 2006).
MAK: (as Mn) (Inhalable fraction) 0.5 mg/m³; Pregnancy risk group: C; (DFG 2005). |
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, especially if powdered. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the central nervous system. |
