SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. It may also cause diarrhea, liver damage and kidney damage. Chronic exposure may cause intoxication. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. It may be harmful by inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. It may also emit fumes of hydrogen bromide. (NTP, 1992)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
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 if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the 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. Poisons A and B

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Decabromodiphenyl ether was judged to be moderate to hard to degrade according to results obtained by the "cultivation method" in which 27% and 4% degradation occurred in 3 days in river water and coastal sea water inoculum, respectively, in Japan(1). Decabromodiphenyl ether, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test which classified the compound as not readily biodegradable(2). A soil degradation study found that soils spiked with 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg decabromodiphenyl ether showed no degradation after 160 days of incubation(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values of <5 to <50 were measured in fish for decabromodiphenyl ether(SRC) using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). Forty-eight hour fish (species not reported) bioconcentration studies with C14-labeled decabromodiphenyl ether revealed no measurable bioconcentration in fish filets; the measured BCF was 0.3(2). Rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) exposed to decabromobiphenyl ether during a 120-day study contained this compound at 38 ng/g of fresh weight in muscle tissue and up to 870 ng/g of fresh weight in the liver(3). An uptake of approximately 0.005% was calculated from decabromodiphenyl ether concentrations in muscle tissue and the mean dietary dose of decabromodiphenyl ether; this value does not include the sum of the metabolites of this compound(3). Using juvenile lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and a 56-day period, decabromodiphenyl ether had a BCF of <1(4). According to a classification scheme(5), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Wild blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) collected on the Dutch coast were put through depuration for 24 hours; decabromodiphenyl ether concentrations dropped from 3350 to 50 ng/g of extractable lipids in one test and from 1580 to 480 ng/g of extractable lipids in another(6). Plankton, Diporeia, lake whitefish, lake trout, and Chinook salmon were collected from Lake Michigan in 2006 between April and August to study the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in a food web of Lake Michigan(7); decabromodiphenyl ether did not biomagnify in the food web(7). A microcosm study using carp (Cyprinus carpio) found no bioaccumulation of decabromodiphenyl ether after 20 and 50-day exposure periods(8).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of decabromodiphenyl ether can be estimated to be 2.8X10+5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that decabromodiphenyl ether is expected to be immobile in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
