Hydrogen bromide (HBr), a pale yellow to colorless gas, causes irritant and corrosive reactions in the tissues with which it comes in contact. Pulmonary edema laryngeal spasm have been reported and may be fatal. The toxicity profile ofthe bromine-containing trifluoiobiomomethane (CFjBr) reflects die general toxicity of fluorocarbons. 

DOT CLASSIFICATION 8 Label Corrosive SAFETY PROFILE Poison by ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and intraperitoneal routes. See also HYDROBROMIC ACID and ACETIC ACID. Violent reaction on contact with water, steam, methanol, or ethanol produces toxic and reactive HBr. When heated to decomposition it emits highly corrosive and toxic fumes of carbonyl bromide and bromine. To fight fire, use dry chemical, CO2. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intramuscular routes. Moderately toxic by other routes. A severe eye irritant. Mutation data reported. Explosive reaction with potassium chlorate or bromine trifluoride. Violent reaction (ignition) with bromine pentafluoride, NH4, NO3, and IF7. Reaction with hydrogen cyanide may give the explosive nitrogen trichloride. When heated... 

SAFETY PROFILE Very toxic. Fire hazard by chemical reaction with easily oxidized materials. Explodes at 300°. Mixtures with sulfur are unstable storage hazards igniting immediately at 91 °C and after a 2-11 day delay period at room temperature. Incompatible with Al, As, C, Cu, metal sulfides, organic matter, P, and reducing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Br . See also BARIUM COMPOUNDS (soluble) and BROMINE. 

SAFETY PROFILE A human poison by ingestion and moderately toxic by inhalation. A poison by ingestion and inhalation experimentally. Corrosive. The action of bromine is essentially the same as that of chlorine, irritating the mucous membranes of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. Severe exposure may result in pulmonary edema. Usually, however, the irritant qualities of the chemical force the worker to leave the exposure area before serious poisoning can result. Chronic exposure is similar to the therapeutic ingestion of excessive bromides. See also BROMIDES. Regular physical examinations should be made of people who work with bromine or bromides. Flammable in the form of liquid or vapor by spontaneous chemical reaction with reducing materials. A... 

DOT CLASSIFICATION Forbidden SAFETY PROFILE The dry material is a powerful explosive that is heat- and shock-sensitive. Explodes on contact with bromine or sulfuric acid. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also PEROXIDES. 

DOT CLASSIFICATION 4.3 Label Dangerous When Wet, Poison SAFETY PROFILE A poison. Flammable when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizing materials. Ignites when heated in chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapors. Incandescent reaction with nitric acid. Reacts with water to evolve flammable phosphine gas. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of POx and phosphine. See also MAGNESIUM and PHOSPHIDES. 

DOT CLASSIFICATION 8 Label Corrosive SAFETY PROFILE Poison by inhalation. A corrosive irritant to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. With the appropriate conditions it undergoes hazardous reactions with formic acid, hydrogen fluoride, inorganic bases, iodides, metals, methyl hydroperoxide, oxidants (e.g., bromine, pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride, perchloric acid, oxygen difluoride, hydrogen peroxide), 3-propynol, water. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of POx. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Human teratogenic effects by ingestion developmental abnormalities of the endocrine system. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Explosive reaction with charcoal + ozone, trifluoroacetyl hypofluorite, fluorine perchlorate. Violent reaction or ignition on contact with diazonium salts, diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, bromine pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride. Incompatible with oxidants, BrFs, FCIO, metallic salts, calomel. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of K20 and I . See also IODIDES. 

SAFETY PROFILE Handle carefully. It may be a sensitizer but not to the same extent as platinum. Most rhodium compounds have only moderate toxicity by ingestion. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Violent reaction with chlorine, bromine pentafluoride, bromine trifluoride, and OF2. A catalytic metal. 

SAFETY PROFILE Mildly toxic by inhalation. Silanes are irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Easily ignited in air. Explosive reaction or ignition on contact with halogens or covalent halides (e.g., bromine, chlorine, carbonyl chloride, antimony pentachloride, tin(TV) chloride). Ignites in oxygen. Can react with oxidizers. 

OSHA PEL TW A 0.01 mg(A /m3 ACGIH TLV WA 0.01 mg(Ag)/m3 DOT CLASSIFICATION Forbidden SAFETY PROFILE Explodes when heated above 270°C or on impact. Pure silver azide explodes at 340°. An electric field or irradiation by electron pulses can explode the crystals. Shock-sensitive when dry and has detonated 250°C. Solutions in aqueous ammonia explode above 100°C. Reacts to form more explosive products with iodine (forms iodine azide) bromine and other halogens. The presence of metal oxides or metal sulfides increases the azide s sensitivity to explosion. Mixtures with sulfur dioxide are explosive. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NO,. See also AZIDES and SILVER COMPOUNDS. 

OSHA PEL TWA 2 mg(Sn)/m3 ACGIH TLV IW A 2 mg(SnVm3 SAFETY PROFILE Poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and subcutaneous routes. Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. Potentially explosive reaction with metal nitrates. Violent reactions with hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide, hydra2ine hydrate, nitrates, K, Na. Ignition on contact with bromine trifluoride. A vigorous reaction with calcium acetylide is initiated by flame. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl. See also TIN COMPOUNDS. 

SAFETY PROFILE Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by subcutaneous and rectal routes. Mildly toxic by inhalation. A ver). dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Self-reactive. Moderately explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. Can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, stop flow of gas. Potentially explosive reaction with bromine + heat, ethylene oxide, triethynylaluminum. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES. 

SAFETY PROFILE An inhalation hazard. Mildly toxic by an unspecified route. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin and eye irritant. Flammable in the form of dust when exposed to flame.
