SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen bromide and carbon monoxide (see ICSC 0023). Reacts violently with strong oxidants, strong bases and some metals such as aluminium, magnesium and potassium. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks some forms of plastic, rubber and coatings.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
NOT 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.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Although 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 ...
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomp it emits toxic fumes of /hydrogen bromide/.

STOT-single exposure
The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. If swallowed the substance may cause vomiting and could result in aspiration pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system, blood and heart. Exposure could cause carbon monoxide poisoning. This may result in impaired functions. The effects may be delayed. Exposure at high concentrations could cause unconsciousness or death.
STOT-repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The substance may have effects on the central nervous system, liver, kidneys and lungs.
Aspiration hazard
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
no data available
Bioaccumulative potential
An 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.
Mobility in soil
Using 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.
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.
