WHAT IS
POTASSIUM
PERMANGANAT
E
Potassium permanganate is an i
norganic chemical compound and
medication. As a medication it is used
for cleaning wounds and dermatitis
It has the chemical formula KMnO4 and
is a salt consisting of K+ and MnO4
ions. It is a strong oxidizing agent. It
dissolves in water to give intensely pink
or purple solutions, the evaporation of
which leaves prismatic purplish-black
glistening crystals. In 2000, worldwide
production was estimated at 30,000
tonnes. In this compound, manganese is
in the +7 oxidation state.
It is on the WHO Model List of Essential
Medicines, the most important
medications needed in a basic health
system. The wholesale cost in the
developing world is about 0.01 USD per
gram of powder. In the United Kingdom
a 400 milligram tablet costs the NHS

HAZARD
IDENTIFICATI
ON
Hazard Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye
contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin
contact (permeator). Possibly corrosive to eyes and skin. The amount of tissue
damage depends on length of contact. Eye contact can result in corneal damage or
blindness.
Skin contact can produce inflammation and blistering. Inhalation of dust will produce
irritation to gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract, characterized by burning, sneezing
and coughing. Severe over-exposure can produce lung damage, choking,
unconsciousness or death. Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and
ulcerations. Over-exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.
Potential Chronic Health Effects: CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC
EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not
available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance may be toxic to
kidneys, liver, skin, central nervous system (CNS). Repeated or prolonged exposure
to the substance can produce target organs damage. Repeated exposure of the eyes
to a low level of dust can produce eye irritation. Repeated skin exposure can
produce local skin destruction, or dermatitis. Repeated inhalation of dust can
produce varying degree of respiratory irritation or lung damage.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTION
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Keep away from combustible material. Do
not ingest. Do not breathe dust. In case of
insufficient ventilation, wear respiratory
equipment. Avoid contact with eye and skin. If
contact, seek a medical advice immediately.
STORAGE
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a
cool and well-ventilated area. Separate from
acids, alkalies, reducing agents, and
combustibles.
