SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity:
Primary irritant effect:
on the skin: Irritant to skin and mucous membranes.
on the eye: Irritating effect.
Sensitization: Sensitization possible through skin contact .
Subacute to chronic toxicity:
Chronic exposure to manganese may cause impairment to the central nervous system . Symptoms
include sluggishness, sleepiness, muscle weakness, loss of facial muscle control, edema,
emotional disturbances, spastic gait and falling .
Copper compounds may be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract . They may cause
metal fume fever, hemolysis of the red blood cells and injury to the liver, lungs, kidneys
and pancreas. Ingestion may also cause vomiting, gastric pain, dizziness, anemia, cramps,
convulsions, shock, coma and death.
Iron compounds may cause vomiting, diarrhea, pink urine, black stool, and liver damage. May
cause damage to the kidneys. Irritating to the respiratory tract, they may cause pulmonary
fibrosis if dusts are inhaled.
Nickel and nickel compounds may cause a form of dermatitis known as nickel itch. They may
also cause intestinal disorders, convulsions and asphyxia. Airborne nickel contaminated
dusts are regarded as carcinogenic to the respiratory tract.
Additional toxicological information:
To the best of our knowledge the acute and chronic toxicity of this substance is not fully
known.
EPA-A : human carcinogen : sufficient evidence from epidemiologic studies to support a causal
association between exposure and cancer.
IARC-2B : Possibly carcinogenic to humans : limited evidence in humans in the absence of
sufficient evidence in experimental animals.
NTP-2 : Reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen: limited evidence from studies in humans or
sufficient evidence from studies in experimental animals.
ACGIH AS : Not suspected as a human carcinogen: Not suspected as a human carcinogen on the
basis of properly conducted epidemiologic studies in humans. Studies have sufficiently long
follow-up, reliable exposure histories, sufficiently high dose, and adequate statistical
power to conclude that exposure to the agent does not convey a significant risk of cancer to
humans. Evidence suggesting a lack of carcinogenicity in experimental animals will be
considered if it is supported by other relevant data.

Copper (atomic symbol: Cu, atomic number: 29) is a Block D, Group 11, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 63.546. The number of electrons in each of copper's shells is 2, 8, 18, 1 and its electron configuration is [Ar]3d10 4s1. The copper atom has a radius of 128 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 186 pm. Copper was first discovered by Early Man prior to 9000 BC. In its elemental form, copper has a reddish-orange metallic and lustrous appearance. Of all pure 
has a higher electrical conductivity. The origin of the word copper comes from the Latin word 'cuprium' which translates as "metal of Cyprus," as the Mediterranean island of Cyprus was known as an ancient source of mined copper..
The iron atom has a radius of 126 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 194 pm. Iron was discovered by humans before 5000 BC. In its elemental form, iron has a lustrous grayish metallic appearance. Iron is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust and the most common element by mass forming the earth as a whole. Iron is rarely found as a free element, since it tends to oxidize easily; it is usually found in minerals such as magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, or siderite.
Though pure iron is typically soft, the addition of carbon creates the 
The number of electrons in each of Manganese's shells is [2, 8, 13, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d5 4s2. The manganese atom has a radius of 127 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 197 pm. Manganese was first discovered by Torbern Olof Bergman in 1770 and first isolated by Johann Gottlieb Gahn in 1774. In its elemental form, manganese has a silvery metallic appearance. 
It is a paramagnetic metal that oxidizes easily in addition to being very hard and brittle. Manganese is found as a free element in nature and also in the minerals pyrolusite, braunite, psilomelane, and rhodochrosite. The name Manganese originates from the Latin word mangnes, meaning "magnet."
The number of electrons in each of nickel's shells is [2, 8, 16, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ar]3d8 4s2. Nickel was first discovered by Alex Constedt in 1751. The nickel atom has a radius of 124 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 184 pm. In its elemental form, nickel has a lustrous metallic silver appearance. Nickel is a hard and ductile 
It is one of four elements that are ferromagnetic and is used in the production of various type of magnets for commercial use. Nickel is sometimes found free in nature but is more commonly found in ores. The bulk of mined nickel comes from laterite and magmatic sulfide ores. The name originates from the German word kupfernickel, which means "false
