Health Information :

Health information for products containing 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide is summarized on the relevant Safety Data Sheets. It is important to note that health risks associated with individual products may vary based on their formulation or intended use. The Safety Data Sheet is the preferred source for specific health information. These products may also contain other components or additives that have additional health risks. An overview of health information for 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide appears below. Consumer and commercial products containing this material generally contain very low levels of the material and are unlikely to represent a health hazard.

Eye contact – Contact may cause severe eye irritation with corneal injury, which may result in permanent impairment of vision, even blindness. Chemical burns may occur.

Skin contact – Brief contact may cause skin burns. Symptoms may include pain, severe local redness, and tissue damage. Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.

Skin sensitization – Skin contact may cause an allergic skin reaction.

Inhalation – Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Prolonged excessive exposure to dust may cause serious adverse effects, even death. Excessive exposure may cause severe irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs, including pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs). Prolonged and excessive exposure to fine dusts may cause lung injury.

Ingestion – This material has moderate toxicity if swallowed. Swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations is not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing larger amounts may cause serious injury, even death.
