As for in vivo, it was positive in a mouse bone marrow micronucleus test and a chromosomal aberration test (Initial Risk Assessment Report (NITE, CERI, NEDO, 2008), CICAD 12 (1999), PATTY (6th, 2012), ATSDR (2012)). As for in vitro, there are negative and positive results in chromosomal aberration tests with cultured mammalian cells (Initial Risk Assessment Report (NITE, CERI, NEDO, 2008), CICAD 12 (1999)). From the above, it was classified in Category 2.

In toxicity studies with rats by the oral or inhalation route, effects on spermatogenesis and fetuses were observed although there is no description of general toxicity for parental animals (EHC 17 (1981)). Details on the observed effects are unknown. Although it is not data on this substance, but as data on manganese chloride, which is water-soluble like this substance, in a study where male mice were administered with drinking water for 12 weeks before mating with an untreated female, inhibition of insemination in males was observed in the 309 mg/kg/day group. In the control group, 26 out of 28 females mated with males became pregnant, whereas in the 309 mg/kg/day of manganese chloride group, 17 out of 28 females mated with males became pregnant (ATSDR (2012)). In a developmental toxicity study in which pregnant rats were administered by gavage, although maternal toxicity was not described, an increase in post-implantation resorption was observed at the highest dose (33 mg manganese/kg/day) (ATSDR (2012)). In a developmental toxicity study by subcutaneous injection to pregnant mice, the survival rate of pups at the postnatal day 4 was significantly decreased in the 2 mg/kg/day group, in which no effects on the body weight of maternal animals were observed, and extensions of periods until eye opening and testicular descent were also observed. However, there was no decline in either activity or learning ability when the surviving pups became adults (OEL Documentations (Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH), 2014)).
Therefore, it was classified in Category 2 based on comprehensive judgment from the data of this substance and the data on manganese chloride.
Besides, the Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH) classifies manganese and manganese compounds as reproductive toxicants Group 2 (provisional) (corresponding to Category 1B) in the OEL Documentations (2014). However, the classification of OEL Documentations was not adopted because it is in a provisional period.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation)

There are very few human data of this substance. It is reported that this substance showed respiratory tract irritation (PATTY (6th, 2012)), and that in a case of a child who accidentally ingested 174 mg/kg, no systemic effects were found, but necrosis was observed in the mouth, esophagus, and stomach due to irritation (Initial Risk Assessment Report (NITE, CERI, NEDO, 2008), ATSDR (2012)). There are no experimental animal data.
Besides, fume fever was observed by acute exposure to not this substance but manganese fume (Initial Risk Assessment Report (NITE, CERI, NEDO, 2008)). In addition, pulmonary inflammatory reactions caused by acute inhalation exposure to manganese dusts (especially MnO2 and Mn3O4) led to impaired lung function over time. There is a report that lung toxicity increased susceptibility to infections such as bronchitis, resulting in the development of manganic pneumonia (CICAD 12 (1999)).
The data on manganese fume and dust were not adopted because of the differences in physical properties between them and this substance.
From the above, although the data on this substance are very limited, it showed respiratory tract irritation and was classified in Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation). The category of the previous classification was revised.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Category 1 (nervous system, respiratory organs)


Danger
H372 P260
P264
P270
P314
P501
There is a report that since in a man who mistakenly ingested this substance at low dose (1.8 mg/kg) for several weeks instead of potassium iodide to treat pulmonary congestion, weakness and impaired mental capacity were observed, the ingestion was stopped after 4 weeks, however, about 9 months later, symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease developed (CICAD 12 (1999), Initial Risk Assessment Report (NITE, CERI, NEDO, 2008)). Therefore, this is a case that like manganese dioxide, a typical manganese compound, this substance also caused neurotoxicity as manganese poisoning. Other than this, although no clear reports of repeated exposures to this substance are available for either humans or experimental animals and there is no direct information on the target organs by inhalation exposure, it is revealed in many reported cases that manganese compounds mainly manganese dioxide caused respiratory disorders (cough, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.) (ATSDR (2012)).
From the above, this substance was also classified in Category 1 (nervous system, respiratory system) like manganese dioxide (CAS RN: 1313-13-9).
