Safety Warning
Mild irritant inorganic salt. Dust irritates eyes and respiratory tract; excessive long-term oral intake causes bromism (drowsiness, skin rash, nerve disturbance). Operation with ventilation, wear dust mask and rubber gloves. When mixed with strong oxidants, toxic bromine vapor may be released. Waste water can be diluted and discharged; solid waste belongs to general inorganic industrial waste.
