Special Procedures: Minimize dust formation, ventilate area, avoid inhaling combustion products; do not allow run-off to reach sewers or surface water.
Explosion Hazards: Fine powders with certain particle sizes can accumulate static charge, avoid sources of ignition
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical safety goggles, gloves, and dust mask; avoid direct contact and prevent dust build-up.
Methods for Clean Up: Vacuum or wet-sweep spilled material, contain and collect into suitable containers for disposal; minimize dust generation, clean area thoroughly once spill product removed.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering sewers, waterways, or soil; inform environmental authorities for significant releases.
Disposal of Clean-Up Materials: Place in labeled containers according to local, state, and federal guidelines,
Decontamination: Wash equipment and contaminated surfaces with plenty of water after handling spill or leak
Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations below recommended limits; avoid creating and inhaling dust; wash hands after handling.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers); keep away from food and beverages.
Precautions: Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using material; keep containers tightly sealed; use only in designated chemical areas.
Incompatibilities: Strong acids and strong oxidizing agents;
Storage Life: Typical stability for two years under recommended conditions, avoid excess humidity
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL 5 mg/m³ (respirable manganese dust); ACGIH TLV 0.02 mg/m³ (as manganese, inhalable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure to control airborne dust; regular air monitoring advised for workers.
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, laboratory coat or apron, dust mask or NIOSH-approved respirator for dusty conditions.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after work, remove and wash contaminated clothing.
Environmental Controls: Emission control systems for facilities handling large volumes, avoid water contamination

Polymerization: Does not occur
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat): >2000 mg/kg
Inhalation: May cause irritation to respiratory tract, coughing, sore throat; high concentrations may trigger respiratory distress
Skin Contact: Mild irritant in sensitive individuals with repeated exposure
Eye Contact: Causes serious irritation, watering, redness
Ingestion: Large doses may produce symptoms associated with manganese poisoning (nausea, weakness, neurologic signs with chronic intake)

Mutagenicity & Reproductive Toxicity: No relevant data indicating mutation or reproductive harm at recommended exposure
Additional Data: Persons with impaired respiratory function or pre-existing neurological disease may be more susceptible
Ecotoxicity: Overuse or accidental release may affect aquatic species; manganese ions accumulate in aquatic environments, potentially toxic to fish at high levels.
Persistence and Degradability: Organic component (gluconate) is biodegradable, manganese ion persists in natural waters and soils.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low bioaccumulation for gluconate portion, manganese may accumulate in soils over extended periods.
