SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. It may also cause narcosis. Other symptoms may include nausea, dizziness and headache. It may also cause liver and kidney damage. Central nervous system effects may also occur.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary.

12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Loss of bromodichloromethane was observed to be 51-59% utilizing a static flask screening procedure and 28 days of incubation, which was interpreted as significant biodegradation with gradual adaptation(1). No degradation was noted in aerobic tests in either sterile or seeded conditions using mixed methanogenic bacterial cultures from sewage effluents after 6 weeks(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 7 was calculated in fish for bromodichloromethane(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.00(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Koc values for bromodichloromethane have been estimated to range from 53-251 based on water solubility and log Kow(1-3). Bromodichloromethane was observed to have high mobility in laboratory soil column experiments utilizing a sandy soil(4). Relatively high soil mobility was noted during a water infiltration study conducted in the Netherlands along the Rhine River(5). According to a classification scheme(6), these estimated Koc values suggest that bromodichloromethane is expected to have high to moderate mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
