8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of
workday.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without
touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after
use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to
the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.
If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the
environment must be avoided.

Additional Information
RTECS: Not available
Men exposed to manganese dusts showed a decrease in fertility. Chronic manganese poisoning primarily involves the
central nervous system. Early symptoms include languor, sleepiness and weakness in the legs. A stolid mask-like
appearance of the face, emotional disturbances such as uncontrollable laughter and a spastic gait with tendency to fall
in walking are findings in more advanced cases. High incidence of pneumonia has been found in workers exposed to
the dust or fume of some manganese compounds., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and
toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
