Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
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.
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits very toxic fumes of bromide ion and NOx. (NTP, 1992)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if needed. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary . 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 0.9% saline (NS) 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 . Cover skin burns with dry sterile dressings after decontamination . Poisons A and B
Fire, Explosion and Reactivity Hazard Data 1. BrdU does not require special fire-fighting procedures or equipment and does not present unusual fire and explosion hazards. 2. The presence of strong alkali, acid, and/or oxidant probably contributes to instability of BrdU. 3. No incompatibilities are known. 4. BrdU does not require non-spark equipment.
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
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.
Decontamination: Turn off equipment that could be affected by BrdU or the materials used for cleanup. ... Wipe off surfaces with water, then wash with copious quantities of water. Glassware should be rinsed in a hood with soap and water. Animal cages should be washed with water.
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.
Store solid BrdU and its solutions in dark-colored, tightly closed containers, preferably under refrigeration. Avoid exposure to light and moisture. Store working quantities of BrdU and its solutions in an explosion-safe refrigerator in the work area.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Solid BrdU is stable in the dark to heat and humidity for 3 months at temperatures below 60 deg C. On exposure to sunlight there is discoloration to grayish-brown. Ultraviolet irritations of frozen aqueous solutions of BrdU results in liberation of bromide ion and formation of a debrominated dimer, while radiolysis of aqueous solutions in the presence of oxygen yields mainly bromide, isodialuric acid deoxyriboside, and smaller amounts of various oxygenated derivatives.
5-BROMO-2'-DEOXYURIDINE may be heat and light sensitive. (NTP, 1992).
no data available
Chemical reactivity: BrdU is hydrolyzed at the N-glycosyl bond, yielding bromouracil and 2-deoxyribose. The pH dependency of this reaction varies with the experimental conditions. The rate of hydrolysis increases sharply at alkaline pH.
When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of /hydrogen bromide and nitrogen oxides/.

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.
