| Gefahrenübersicht | Workers may be occupationally exposed to vinyl bromide via inhalation during its manufacture or use. Acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) studies indicate that the liver is the primary target organ following inhalation exposure to vinyl bromide in humans and animals. In high concentrations, vinyl bromide may produce dizziness, disorientation, and sleepiness in humans. Acute exposure of rats to very high concentrations via inhalation has showed liver and kidney damage and neurological effects. Chronic inhalation exposure primarily damages the liver, causing foci in the liver of rats. Vinyl bromide has been shown to be a potent carcinogen in rats exposed by inhalation, producing liver angiosarcomas. EPA has classified vinyl bromide as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen.Acute inhalation studies in rodents show that vinyl bromide can cause liver injury. [ACGIH] A skin and eye irritantInhalation of high concentrations can cause CNS depression[HSDB] Vinyl bromide, stabilized (UN1085) has warning of explosive polymerization[ERG 2016] |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 170(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.57(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that vinyl bromide is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of vinyl bromide from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-2 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(4). The potential for volatilization of vinyl bromide from dry soil surfaces may exist based upon a vapor pressure of 1,030 mm Hg(5).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 170(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.57(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that vinyl bromide is expected to adsorb slightly to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-2 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 1.1 hrs and 4.1 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(6), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), vinyl bromide, which has a vapor pressure of 1,030 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), will exist in the gas phase(SRC). Gas-phase vinyl bromide is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is 2.4 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 6.8X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | Organobromide compounds, especially alkylbromides are strong alkylating agents. Consequently they can randomly modify the surfaces of proteins and lipids, leading to the disruption of enzyme, transporter or membrane functions. Alkylation of DNA by alkylbromides may also lead to mutations. Vinyl bromide is metabolically activated by liver microsomal enzymes to intermediates that covalently bind to proteins and nucleic acids. Several lines of evidence suggest the involvement of the epoxides, i.e., bromoethylene oxide. Proven targets for alkylation are adenine, cytosine and guanine moieties in nucleic acids, and sulfhydryl groups of proteins. Vinylbromide reacts quickly with hepatic glutathione (GSH) leading to its rapid depletion and subsequent liver damage. |
