absorbed through the skin. Causes skin and respiratory tract
irritation. May be harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Possible risk of
impaired fertility. Potential cancer hazard.
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes severe eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin.

Toxicology & carcinogenesis studies of 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol were
conducted by applying the chemical in 95% ethanol to the
interscapular skin of male and female rats and mice. In rats,
neoplasms induced by 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol occurred in the skin,
nasal mucosa, Zymbal's gland, oral mucosa, esophagus, forestomach,
intestines, liver, kidney, mammary gland (females), clitoral gland
(females), spleen (males), and mesothelium (males). In mice, chemical
induced neoplasms occurred in the skin, forestomach, liver (males),
and lung

Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
|
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may
be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect
in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Flash Point: > 110 deg C (> 230.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0
|
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
|
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid
breathing vapor or mist.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
|
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.

Section 12 - Ecological Information
|
Ecotoxicity:
No data available.
If released into water, 2,3-dibromopropanol is not expected to adsorb
to suspended solids and sediment in the water column based upon the
estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to
be an important fate process. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the
potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
2,3-Dibromopropanol may slowly hydrolyze in basic waters although the
rate of this process is expected to be slower than for
biodegradation.
Environmental:
If released to air, a vapor pressure of 0.09 mm Hg at 25°C indicates
2,3-dibromopropanol will exist solely as a vapor in the ambient
atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2,3-dibromopropanol will be degraded in the
atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl
radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be
8 days. If released to soil, 2,3-dibromopropanol is expected to have
very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 4. Volatilization
from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate
process.
Physical:
No information available.
Other:
