Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Specific Hazards: Violent reaction with water generates acidic fumes
Firefighters Advice: Avoid inhalation of vapors, fight fire from upwind position, move containers if safe to do so
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical splash goggles, acid-resistant gloves, protective suit, use respiratory protection if fumes are generated
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or water bodies
Containment Methods: Absorb spill with inert material such as sand or earth, avoid water exposure during cleanup
Cleanup Procedure: Place residues in clearly labeled waste containers for proper disposal, ventilate area, thoroughly clean contaminated surfaces
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated chemical fume hood, avoid all unnecessary exposure, handle with acid-approved gloves, avoid contact with moisture
Storage: Store tightly closed in original container, in dry, cool, well-ventilated area, separate from oxidizers, strong bases, water sources
Other Precautions: Keep away from food and drink, prevent static discharge, keep container upright, use secondary containment for corrosives
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limit for this compound, avoid any inhalation or skin exposure
Engineering Controls: Chemical fume hood or effective local exhaust
Personal Protection: Lab coat, nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, face shield, acid-resistant apron, use proper respirator if vapors exceed acceptable level
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing, avoid eating or drinking in work area

Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis or other health effects based on analogy to similar acyl halides
Carcinogenicity: No data available, not listed as a confirmed carcinogen
Other Information: No reproductive or mutagenic data found
Ecotoxicity: May be harmful to aquatic organisms, especially due to acidification and halide release
Persistence and Biodegradability: Not readily biodegradable due to persistence of halogenated groups
Bioaccumulation: No data available, potential due to hydrophobic nature
Mobility: Will hydrolyze rapidly in moist conditions, generating hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid uncontrolled release to the environment
