Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
ON FROSTBITE: rinse with plenty of water, do NOT remove clothes. Refer for medical attention .
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 126 [Gases - Compressed or Liquefied (Including Refrigerant Gases)]: Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. (ERG, 2016)
If the diagnosis of solvent abuse is suspected it can be confirmed by biochemical examination of the blood or urine. Emergency treatment is supportive and includes decontamination, oxygen, and any specific therapy required in a particular case such as antiarrhythmics or anticonvulsants. A few patients may require intermittent positive-pressure ventilation, dialysis, or treatment for hepatic failure. Solvent abuse
If material involved in fire: Extingiush fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty). Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible.
Excerpt from ERG Guide 126 [Gases - Compressed or Liquefied (Including Refrigerant Gases)]: Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. (ERG, 2016)
In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. In case of fire: keep cylinder cool by spraying with water.
Ventilation. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Ventilation. NEVER direct water jet on liquid. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.
If trifluoromonobromomethane is leaked, the following steps should be taken: 1. Ventilate area of leak. 2. Stop flow of gas.
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.
Fireproof if in building. Cool.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
Cold-insulating gloves.
Use ventilation.

Bromotrifluoromethane is a colorless, odorless gas at room conditions Shipped as a liquid confined under its own vapor pressure. Noncombustible. Nontoxic but can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the unconfined liquid can cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire can cause it to rupture violently and rocket.
Colorless gas [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.]

Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames. This produces toxic fumes including hydrogen bromide and hydrogen fluoride. Attacks plastics, rubber and coatings.
Conditions contributing to instability: heat
MONOBROMOTRIFLUOROMETHANE IS NOT FLAMMABLE; IT IS A GOOD FIRE EXTINGUISHER.The vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in lowered spaces causing a deficiency of oxygen.BROMOTRIFLUOROMETHANE may react with aluminum to produce substantial heat. Other halogenated hydrocarbons, such as fluorotrichloromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, chlorodifluoromethane, tetrafluoromethane produce sufficient heat in this way to melt aluminum pieces. The vigor of the reaction appears to depend on the degree of fluorination and the vapor pressure [Chem. Eng. News 39(27):44 1961].

Incompatible with chemically-active metals such as calcium, powdered aluminum, zinc & magnesium.
The fire extinguisher halon 1301 begins to decomp at 400-500 deg to halogen gases, which react with hydrogen to form hydrogen halides. in oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbonyl fluoride & carbonyl bromide may form. hazards from decomp products are negligible as compared to those of other hazards associated with a fire.

The substance is irritating to the eyes. Rapid evaporation of the liquid may cause frostbite. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.

A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment.
Based upon the highly halogenated structure of bromotrifluoromethane, biodegradation is expected to be slow(1).
An estimated BCF of 5.4 was calculated for bromotrifluoromethane(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.86(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.
The Koc of bromotrifluoromethane is estimated as 49(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.86(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bromotrifluoromethane is expected to have very high 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.
