10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable under normal conditions.
POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heating above decomp temperature of 800 deg C.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hydrogen bromide and sodium oxide.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Strong acids, strong oxidants, heavy metal salts. Reacts explosively with bromine
trifluoride.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE
DERMAL LD
50
: > 2000 mg/kg (rabbit)
ORAL LD
50
: 4200 mg/kg (rat)
EYE EFFECTS: A slight irritant (rabbit)
SKIN EFFECTS: Not a skin irritant (rabbit). Not a sensitizer (guinea pig).
TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Sodium bromide has been shown to cause embryo-fetal toxicity and malformations in rats at
dose levels which also produce maternal toxicity. The No-Observed Effect Level (NOEL) is 100 mg/kg per day, and the
acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sodium bromide from food and drinking water in humans is 1 mg/kg per day.
Comparable high doses of sodium chloride (table salt) similarly cause malformation, embryo-fetal toxicity, and maternal
toxicity in mice.
MUTAGENICITY: Does not induce DNA repair in cultured human epitheliod cells. Not clastogenic in human lymphocytes
metaphase analysis. Not mutagenic by the Ames test.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA: Sodium bromide is an organic salt, which fully dissociates in aquatic environment to bromide
and sodium ions. It also undergoes degradation in soil to bromide ion (no further degradation or biodegradation will
occur.)
AQUATIC TOXICITY (ACUTE)
96-HOUR LC
50
: > 1000 mg/L (Rainbow Trout)
48-HOUR EC
50
: > 1000 mg/L (Daphnia Magna)
GENERAL COMMENTS: Avian Toxicity: Oral LD50 >2250 mg/kg (Bobwhite Quail)
Dietary LC50 >5633 ppm (Mallard Duck)
