7783-53-1

Causes skin irritation. Prolonged contact with the skin, especially if the skin is wet or moist, causes necrosis.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation or ingestion may result in manganism characterized by neurological symptoms such as headache, apathy, and weakness of the legs, followed by psychosis and neurological symptoms similar to those of Parkinson's disease. May impair fertility. Other chronic effects from inhaling high amounts of manganese include an increased incidence of cough and bronchitis and susceptibility to infectious lung disease.
