8.2 Appropriate engineering controlsHandle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protectionSafety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protectionWear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. 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.
Respiratory protectionWear dust mask when handling large quantities.

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsNOT FLAMMABLE BY STANDARD TEST IN AIRThe vapour is heavier than air.Halogenated aliphatic compounds, such as DIBROMOMETHANE, are moderately or very reactive. Halogenated organics generally become less reactive as more of their hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms. Low molecular weight haloalkanes are highly flammable and can react with some metals to form dangerous products. Materials in this group are incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they are incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals (potassium), and epoxides.
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
10.5 Incompatible materialsAlthough apparently stable on contact, mixtures of potassium (or its alloys) with a wide range of halocarbons are shock-sensitive & may explode with great violence on light impact. Chloroethane, dichloroethane ... dibromomethane & diiodomethane are among those investigated. Sensitivity increases generally with the degree of substitution ...

12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 4.06 was calculated for dibromomethane(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.70(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.
12.4 Mobility in soilUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for dibromomethane can be estimated to be 24(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that dibromomethane 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.
