| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Corrosive to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. Small amounts of corrosive hydrobromic acid may form. Bromide exposure may cause central nervous system effects and skin rashes. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, eyes and skin |
| Eye Contact: | Corrosive to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May form corrosive hydrobromic acid. Contact can lead to redness, pain, and ulceration. |
| Inhalation: | Dust causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. |
| Ingestion: | May cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, stomach bleeding, collapse and convulsions. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Symptoms of bromide ingestion may include skin rash, blurred vision, drowsiness, irritability, dizziness, mania, hallucinations, and coma. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Repeated or prolonged exposure to bromides by any route may cause skin rashes (bromaderma) and central nervous system depression, including memory loss, irritability, and headache. Prolonged exposure to tin dust may result in benign pneumoconiosis. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
