HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (HMIS) RATINGS:
Health Hazard 1
Flammability Hazard 0
Reactivity Hazard 0
Personal Protection Index E (Safety Glasses, Gloves, and Dust Respirator)
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS:
Material or Component CAS No.* % Hazard Data
10034-96-5
Manganese sulfate monohydrate 33 PEL** C**** 5 mg Mn per cubic meter of air
TLV-TWA*** 0.2 mg Mn per cubic meter of air
IDLH***** 500 mg Mn per cubic meter of air
* Chemical Abstract Service Number
** OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit, manganese compounds (as Mn), 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-1.
*** American Conference of Governmental Hygienists, 1999. TLV-TWA = the time weighted average concentration
for a normal 8-hour workday and a 40-hour work week, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed,
day after day, without adverse effect.
**** Ceiling Exposure Limit or maximum exposure concentration not to be exceeded under any circumstances.
***** Immediately dangerous to life and health concentration (IDLH) is taken from NIOSH (National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health) pocket guide to chemical hazards, Feb 2004 edition.
Section 3 Health Hazard Data
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
1. Eye Contact
May cause eye irritation.
2. Skin Contact
May cause skin irritation.
3. Inhalation
May cause irritation of nasal passages. Additional effects may include shortness of breath and asthma.
4. Ingestion
May cause abdominal pain and nausea.

EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Prolonged inhalation of manganese compounds above the TLV-TWA may cause lung irritation or central nervous
system disorders. The symptoms simulate Parkinson's disease.
CARCINOGENICITY
NTP: No IARC Monographs: No OSHA Regulated: No
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Exposure to mists may further irritate mucous membranes or open wounds.
Section 4 First Aid Measures
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
1. Eyes
Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of
the entire surface. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
2. Skin
Flush contaminated areas with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash clothing before reuse.
3. Inhalation
Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
Seek medical attention.
4. Ingestion
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Seek medical attention.
Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures
FLASHPOINT None
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE LIMITS Lower: Nonflammable Upper: Nonflammable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Use extinguishing medium appropriate for surrounding materials.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES In the event of a fire avoid breathing vapors or dust, may use an
appropriate breathing apparatus. Dike area to prevent run off and contamination of water sources, if possible.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Keep away from strong oxidizers.
Section 6 Accidental Release Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Contain spills by diking . Absorb spills using adsorbent clay and transfer into a suitable
container for reclamation or disposal. Flush contaminated floors with abundant quantities of water into sewer, if
permitted by federal, state, or local regulations.
Section 7 Handling and Storage
Store in a cool, ventilated area in closed container. Segregate from permanganates, other oxidizing agents, peroxides,
and chlorates. Protect containers against physical damage.
Section 8 Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
Provide sufficient mechanical and/or local exhaust to maintain exposure levels below TLV-TWA limit for Mn.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Material Safety Data Sheet
Page 3 of 4
In cases where high dust exposure may exist, the use of NIOSH-MSHA dust and mist respirator or an air-supplied
respirator is advised. Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to control dust.
EYE PROTECTION
Primary eye protection (safety glasses or goggles).
GLOVES
Rubber or plastic gloves should be worn.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Normal work clothing is sufficient.
Section 9 Physical and Chemical Properties
VAPOR PRESSURE (mm Hg) Not applicable
BOILING POINT >100癈
Soluble in all proportions
SOLUBILITY IN WATER
VAPOR DENSITY Not applicable PERCENT VOLATILE BY VOLUME Not volatile
MELTING POINT Not applicable
APPEARANCE AND ODOR Clear solution, odorless
Section 10 Stability and Reactivity
STABILITY Stable under normal conditions.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID Contact with incompatible materials.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS Powdered metals and strong oxidizers.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Oxides of sulfur and the contained metal.
CONDITIONS' CONTRIBUTING TO HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION Material is not known to
polymerize.
Section 11 Toxicological Information
Most diagnosed cases of manganese toxicity in humans have been reported following long-term exposures to airborne
concentrations of manganese above the TLV-TWA. The usual form of chronic manganese toxicity involves the central
nervous system.
Reports of adverse effects in humans from ingestion of manganese are rare.
Section 12 Ecological Information
Inorganic manganese compounds have negligible vapor pressures but exist in air as suspended particulate matter, which
settle under the influence of gravity.
The transport of manganese in water is influenced by the solubility of the form present. Insoluble forms, such as
manganese dioxide, are transported as sediments.
The bioaccumulation of manganese in the food chain does not appear to be significant.
Section 13 Disposal Considerations
Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state and local requirements.
