Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (1988)
Abstract
Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) was irritating to the skin and eyes of rabbits. Exposure via the dermal and inhalation routes produced central nervous system (CNS) effects in workers. In acute studies on laboratory animals, oral toxicity was moderate to high, dermal toxicity was moderate, and inhalation toxicity was high. MMT caused CNS effects and damage to the lungs, liver, kidney, spleen and stomach in a variety of experimental animals following acute exposure by the oral, dermal or inhalation routes. Repeated inhalation caused liver and kidney damage and lung changes in numerous species. Low oral doses given to pregnant rats caused maternal and foetal toxicity but apparently not malformations.
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals. They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
