| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Stable to water (water solubility: 0.00008g/100g (20degC), Lide (84th, 2003)) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Classified as "solid" according to GHS definition |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data, though being inorganic compounds containing oxygen |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not organic compounds |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Due to the fact that the substance is "solid" according to the GHS definition and inhalation of its gas is not expected. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | IUCLID (2000) presents epidemiological evidence: "slightly irritating" to the human skin. However, classification is not possible in the absence of study detail. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | IUCLID (2000) presents epidemiological evidence: "slightly irritating" to the human eye. However, classification is not possible in the absence of study detail. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |

Danger | H370: Causes damage to organs (respiratory system) |
P307+P311: IF exposed: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
"Acute inhalation exposure to high concentrations of manganese dusts (specifically MnO2 and Mn3O4) can cause an inflammatory response in the lung, which, over time, can result in impaired lung function. Lung toxicity is manifested as an increased susceptibility to infections such as bronchitis and can result in manganic pneumonia" (CICAD 12 (1999)). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (respiratory system, nervous system) |
|
Danger | H372: Cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure (respiratory system, nervous system) |
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P314: Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
The most commonly occurring manganese-bearing minerals include manganese dioxide, manganese carbonate, manganese silicate and manganese trioxide. In general, the available data indicate that exposure to excess manganese for 14 days or less (acute duration) or up to a year (intermediate duration) has an effect on the respiratory system and the nervous system, with little to no effect on other organ systems (CICAD 63 (2004), CICAD 12 (1999)). |
