Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray
Specific Hazards: Decomposition may release hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, irritating gases and vapors
Protective Equipment: Full protective suit including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
Special Precautions: Approach upwind, keep containers cool with water spray, avoid contaminating water sources with firefighting runoff, withdraw immediately if rising sounds from venting safety devices or discoloration of container is observed
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical splash goggles, impervious gloves, protective clothing, avoid breathing dust or vapor, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into soil, drains, surface water, and groundwater
Methods of Clean-up: Collect spilled material mechanically in a suitable container, absorb small spills with inert material like dry sand or earth, wash spill area thoroughly after collection
Decontamination: Wash and ventilate area after clean-up, dispose contaminated material according to local regulations
Handling: Handle in a chemical fume hood, avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes, use appropriate personal protective equipment, do not eat, drink, or smoke in handling areas
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, tightly closed container away from heat sources, acids, oxidizers, moisture, clearly label storage containers, keep away from incompatible materials
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate ventilation such as fume hood, maintain eyewash stations and safety showers nearby
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits available for the substance; general duty to minimize airborne exposure
Personal Protection: Wear butyl-rubber or nitrile gloves, chemical safety goggles, laboratory coat, face shield when handling large quantities, respiratory protection for insufficient ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing, wash hands before eating or smoking, do not reuse contaminated gear

Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to heat, open flames, strong acids or oxidizing agents, moisture
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, other halogenated products possible
Polymerization: Not expected under standard use conditions
Acute Toxicity: Oral and dermal toxic with limited experimental data, LD50 values not well established
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, eye contact
Symptoms: Irritation to respiratory, digestive, and ocular systems; dermatitis on skin contact
Chronic Effects: Possible sensitizing effects on skin with repeated exposure, no clear evidence of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity identified
Medical Conditions Aggravated: Pre-existing respiratory, skin, or allergic conditions may worsen
Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms, potential for bioaccumulation due to hydrophobic profile
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, persistent in aquatic environments
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility, high potential to adsorb to sediments
Bioaccumulation Potential: High due to chemical structure
Other Adverse Effects: Harmful impact likely on aquatic ecosystems with significant or repeated release
Waste Disposal Methods: Consider as hazardous waste under local regulations, use authorized chemical waste incinerator for disposal, avoid discharge to drains or watercourses, do not reuse containers
Container Handling: Triple rinse containers, puncture, dispose in accordance with national and regional requirements, never dispose in general waste
