Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .
Excerpt from ERG Guide 159 [Substances (Irritating)]: Inhalation of vapors or dust is extremely irritating. May cause burning of eyes and flow of tears. May cause coughing, difficult breathing and nausea. Brief exposure effects last only a few minutes. Exposure in an enclosed area may be very harmful. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Aliphatic hydrocarbons and related compounds
To fight a fire /involving/ acetylene tetrabromide use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water-foam, or fog.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 159 [Substances (Irritating)]: Some of these materials may burn, but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. (ERG, 2016)
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus.

1. ventilate area of spill or leak. 2. collect for reclamation or absorb in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or a similar material.
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

Acetylene tetrabromide is a yellowish liquid with a pungent odor, much like camphor. Irritates skin. Ingestion or inhalation may produce irritation or a narcotic effect. Chronic exposure may damage liver. Noncombustible, but decomposes at 374°F, releasing flammable and toxic fumes. Much denser than water. Used as a solvent for fats, oils and waxes.

Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including carbonyl bromide and hydrogen bromide. Reacts with strong bases and strong oxidants. Attacks some metals such as aluminium, magnesium and zinc. Attacks some plastics, rubber and coatings.
Heat /contributes to instability/.
Non combustible.ACETYLENE TETRABROMIDE is incompatible with strong bases and chemically active metals. Incompatible with hot iron, aluminum and zinc in the presence of steam. May react with magnesium. Softens or destroys most plastics and rubber (NTP, 1992).

Tetrabromoethane is chemically incompatible with active metals, strong caustics, hot iron, aluminum, or zinc in the presence of steam.
Noncombustible but decomposes @ 374 deg f (190 deg c) to liberate flammable & highly toxic vapors. srp: eg, hydrogen bromide and carbon monoxide

The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system and liver. This may result in impaired functions.
The substance may have effects on the liver.
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
AEROBIC: 1,1,2,2-Tetrabromoethane, present at 100 mg/l, reached 29% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(1).
BCF values of <8.2 and 0.5 to 7 were measured for 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane at compound concns of 1 ug/l and 10 ug/l, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these values BCF suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
The Koc of 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane is estimated as 120(SRC), using a water solubility of 678 mg/l(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC).

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.
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.
