Chronic effects:Manganese is an essential trace metal in all living organisms. Long-term inhalation (years) ofManganese oxides may cause chronic manganese intoxication (manganism) affecting the centralnervous system (CNS), and lead to extensive disablement, that cannot be cured.Fumes/dust of MnO 2 (tetravalent manganese (Mn[IV])) is classified as harmful to health. Colormax ®contains divalent and trivalent manganese (Mn[II] and Mn[III]). Mn[IV] has not been detected in theproduct.12.
