First Aid Measures Eye Contact Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Skin Contact In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention. Inhalation If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, oxygen can be administered. Seek medical attention if respiration problems do not improve. Ingestion INDUCE VOMITING by sticking finger in throat. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION in case of ingestion of a radioactive material. Continued on Next Page Emergency phone number (800) 424-9300 Printed 1/22/2005.

Environmental Fate Tribromomethane's production and use in fire extinguishers, in the shipbuilding, aircraft and aerospace industries, in organic synthesis, as a solvent for waxes, greases and oils may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Tribromomethane is a byproduct of water chlorination. Marine algae produce significant quantities of tribromomethane. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 5.4 mm Hg at 25 deg C indicates tribromomethane will exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase tribromomethane 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 330 days. If released to soil, tribromomethane is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 35. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon a Henry's Law constant of 5.4X10-4 atm-cu m/mole. Tribromomethane may volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon
