Rinse mouth.
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. (NTP, 1992)
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. 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. Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFCs) and related compounds
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
Literature sources indicate that this chemical is nonflammable. (NTP, 1992)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
1. ventilate area of spill or leak. 2. collect for reclamation or absorb in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, or a similar material. chloroform
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.

Ingestion may cause effects on the kidneys and liver. This may result in impaired functions. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
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).
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).
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.

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.
