Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Dibromoacetic acid (DBA) ... /was/ provided in drinking water in range-finding reproductive/developmental toxicity studies (rats) ... Studies included absorption and biodisposition of DBA ... including passage into placentas, amniotic fluid, fetuses ... or milk . The DBA ... range-finding reproductive/developmental toxicity studies each included 50 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex/group. DBA (0, 125, 250, 500, or 1000 ppm) ... was provided in drinking water 14 days premating through gestation and lactation (63 to 70 days). ... Satellite groups (6 male, 17 female rats/group/study ... were used for bioanalytical sampling. Rats ... had exposure-related reduced water consumption caused by apparent taste aversion to DBA ..., especially in the parental animals at the two highest exposure levels (500 and 1000 ppm DBA . Female rats consumed slightly higher mg/kg/day doses of DBA than male rats, especially during gestation and lactation; weanling rats consumed the highest mg/kg/day doses. DBA produced detectable and quantifiable concentrations in plasma, placentas, amniotic fluid, and milk. Plasma samples confirmed that rats drink predominately during the dark; this drinking pattern, not accumulation, produced detectable plasma concentrations for 18 to 24 hours/day...

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Limited data are available regarding the biodegradation of dibromoacetic acid. However, dibromoacetic acid (5 mM) was used as a carbon source by Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 as measured by halide production after a period of 10 days at 30 deg C(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 0.17 was calculated for dibromoacetic acid(SRC), using a water solubility of 2.11X10+6 mg/L(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).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of dibromoacetic acid is estimated as 1.5(SRC), using a water solubility of 2.11X10+6 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that dibromoacetic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of dibromoacetic acid is 1.48(4), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The 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.
Containers 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.
