4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedSYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. It is a lachrymator. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may be fatal by ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption. It is an irritant of the eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. It is also a lachrymator. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, bromine, hydrogen bromide gas and cyanides.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Remove patient from contact with the material. 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. /Cyanide and related compounds/

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsDIBROMOACETONITRILE is incompatible with strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents. . Nitriles may polymerize in the presence of metals and some metal compounds. They are incompatible with acids; mixing nitriles with strong oxidizing acids can lead to extremely violent reactions. Nitriles are generally incompatible with other oxidizing agents such as peroxides and epoxides. The combination of bases and nitriles can produce hydrogen cyanide. Nitriles are hydrolyzed in both aqueous acid and base to give carboxylic acids (or salts of carboxylic acids). These reactions generate heat. Peroxides convert nitriles to amides. Nitriles can react vigorously with reducing agents. Acetonitrile and propionitrile are soluble in water, but nitriles higher than propionitrile have low aqueous solubility. They are also insoluble in aqueous acids.

Dibromoacetonitrile is a by product of water chlorination and hydrolyzes quickly, therefore biodegradation is not expected to be an important fate in the environment. (SRC)
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for dibromoacetonitrile(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.47(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).
12.4 Mobility in soilUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of dibromoacetonitrile can be estimated to be 13(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that dibromoacetonitrile is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe 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.
Contaminated packagingContainers 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.
