For ingestion, consider gastric lavage. Avoid stimulants. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Severe fire hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive above flash point. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back. 

carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires: Flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck: Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Let burn unless leak can be stopped immediately. For smaller tanks or cylinders, extinguish and isolate from other flammables. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 500 meters (1/3 mile). Consider downwind evacuation if material is leaking. 

Subject to California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). Keep out of water supplies and sewers. 

Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Remove sources of ignition. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA). 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear insulated gloves. 

The following respirators and maximum use concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. At any detectable concentration - Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Escape - Any air-purifying full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front-mounted or back-mounted organic vapor canister. Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

Component Analysis - LD50/LC50 

Component Carcinogenicity

In the inhalation study in rats, there was a dose-related increase in the incidence of liver angiosarcomas and Zymbal gland carcinomas; an increased incidence of liver neoplastic nodules and hepatocellular carcinoma was also noted. 

Alcohol may enhance the toxic effects. 

Phenobarbital may increase the rate of debromination. 

VINYL BROMIDE: May cause irritation, sore throat, and cough High concentrations may also cause central nervous system depression with nausea, vomiting, dizziness, disorientation, drowsiness, incoordination, narcosis, and unconsciousness In rats, 25000 ppm caused anesthesia, 50000 ppm caused unconsciousness in 25 minutes and death in 7 hours, and 100000 ppm was lethal in 15 minutes Survivors of the 50000 ppm group developed slight to moderate kidney damage.

VINYL BROMIDE: Rats exposed to 2000 ppm for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 8-15 weeks developed atp-ase deficient foci in the liver Inhalation of 10000 ppm for 7 hours a day for 4 weeks by rats resulted in a significant decrease in body weight A 6 month study of several animal species at 250 ppm and 500 ppm showed an increase in serum bromide levels Rats exposed to 10 ppm, 50 ppm, 250 ppm, or 1250 ppm for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 104 weeks developed angiosarcomas of the liver in both males and females Males at 250 ppm, and females at 10, 50 and 250 ppm also developed hepatocellular neoplasms There was also an increase in carcinomas of the Zymbal glands.

VINYL BROMIDE: May cause irritation with redness Data on the possibility of frostbite is conflicting Nonirritating to intact or abraded rabbit skin May be absorbed and cause effects as in acute inhalation.

VINYL BROMIDE No data available.

VINYL BROMIDE May cause slight to moderate irritation with redness and pain.

VINYL BROMIDE Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may cause conjunctivitis.

VINYL BROMIDE: Ingestion of the gas is unlikely The liquid may cause nausea, abdominal pain, and effects as in acute inhalation.
