Additional Information
RTECS: Not available
Men exposed to manganese dusts showed a decrease in fertility. Chronic manganese poisoning primarily involves the
central nervous system. Early symptoms include languor, sleepiness and weakness in the legs. A stolid mask-like
appearance of the face, emotional disturbances such as uncontrollable laughter and a spastic gait with tendency to fall
in walking are findings in more advanced cases. High incidence of pneumonia has been found in workers exposed to
the dust or fume of some manganese compounds., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and
toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
