| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: YELLOW POWDER OR CRYSTALS CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on contact with acids and moisture producing toxic and flammable gases including hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK: Sh; (DFG 2003). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the kidneys and central nervous system, resulting in kidney impairment and neurologic, neuropsychiatric disorders (manganism). | ||
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |||
|
Decomposes below melting point at 192-204°C Density: 1.92 g/cm³ Solubility in water: very poor |
|||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
UN number 2968: Haz class 4.3; Pack Group III; Maneb stabilized against self-heating. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Chloroble M, Dithane M 22, Kypman 80, Manebgan, Manesan, Manzate, Polyram M, Rhodianebe, Sopranebe and Trimangol are trade names.
