4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Excerpt from ERG Guide 160 [Halogenated Solvents]: Toxic by ingestion. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Exposure in an enclosed area may be very harmful. Contact may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Halogenated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons and Related Compounds/

Carcinogenicity

CLASSIFICATION: D; not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity.

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: Bromochloromethane, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). In a screening test, bromochloromethane at an initial concentration of 5 or 10 mg/L underwent 100% degradation within seven days using an adapted settled domestic wastewater inoculum under aerobic conditions(2,3). Complete degradation ensued with 3 successive subcultures(2,3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated for bromochloromethane(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.41(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.

12.4 Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of bromochloromethane can be estimated to be 22(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that bromochloromethane is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The partition coefficient of bromochloromethane between a sandy loam soil and water was 0.2497(3). The electrostatic attraction between negatively charged clay particle and charged carbon atom is hypothesized to be the prime adsorption mechanism of halogenated organic contaminants to a sandy loam. The negative charge on the halogen atoms repels negatively charged soil particles(3).

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.
