| Körperbelastung | Clinical cases of occupational ethyl bromide intoxication observed between 1937 and 1942 /were reviewed/. ...Blood bromine concentration of patients suffering from ethyl bromide poisoning at the time of admission were reported to be 15-53 mg/100 mL. Spinal fluid bromine concentrations were 4-7 mg/100 mL. After 5-10 days without exposure, the patients' blood bromine levels were 5-7 mg/100 mLhowever after 2-3 weeks, these returned to background levels of 0.61-1.81 mg/100 mL. No background levels for spinal fluid bromine concentration are reported. ... |
| Treatment | EYES: irrigate opened eyes for several minutes under running water. INGESTION: do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). Seek immediate medical advice. SKIN: should be treated immediately by rinsing the affected parts in cold running water for at least 15 minutes, followed by thorough washing with soap and water. If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention. INHALATION: supply fresh air. If required provide artificial respiration. |
| Wechselwirkungen | There is a possible interaction of epinephrine with ethyl bromide. In studies with dogs, ethyl bromide and other halogenated compounds have been shown to cause cardiac syncope. Anesthetized dogs that had inhaled ethyl bromide and that were subsequently injected with 0.03 mg/kg epinephrine died of ventricular fibrillation. |

| Gesundheitliche Auswirkungen | Bromoethane is a weak carcinogen and a strong lachrymator. Studies in rodents indicated that chronic exposure to moderately high levels of bromoethane can lead to marginal increases in lung, adrenal and brain neoplasms (A3149) |
| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 22(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that ethyl bromide is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of ethyl bromide from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.4X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure, 467 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 9,000 mg/L(4). Hydrolysis in moist soil may be an important environmental fate process(SRC) based upon aqueous hydrolysis half-lives of 40 and 30 days at pH 7 and at 20 and 25 °C, respectively(5,6). Ethyl bromide is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(3). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 33% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(7) indicating that biodegradation is not likely to be a fast environmental fate process in soil(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 22(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that ethyl bromide is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.4X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 467 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 9,000 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 3 hrs and 4 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 5(SRC), from its log Kow of 1.61(7) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Hydrolysis half-lives of 40 and 30 days at pH 7 and at 20 and 25 °C(8,9), respectively, indicate that hydrolysis is an important enviornmental fate process in water(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 33% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(10) indicating that biodegradation is not likely to be a fast environmental fate process in water(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), ethyl bromide, which has a vapor pressure of 467 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase ethyl bromide is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 45 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 3.5X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Ethyl bromide does not contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Ethyl bromide is a colorless liquid with a vapor heavier than air. Ethyl bromide is used as an ethylating agent in chemical synthesis. Ethyl bromide was formerly used as a narcotic agent for dental and medical surgery. HUMAN STUDIES: The main health concerns relating to the exposure of ethyl bromide are the potential for neurotoxicity, irritation of the respiratory tract, damage to genetic material, carcinogenicity, hematotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Limited human experience during surgical anesthesia has indicated that, in addition to CNS depression, there is a possibility of lung congestion and degeneration of the liver and kidney tissues. Symptoms of exposure to ethyl bromide include irritation of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and upper respiratory tract. Other symptoms include CNS depression, lung irritation, acute congestion and edema, liver damage, and kidney damage. It can cause nausea, dizziness, headache, and nervous system disturbances. Central nervous system depression, cardiac arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest may occur. Loss of balance, slurred speech, unconsciousness, and death can occur. Ingestion can cause burning of the digestive tract, vomiting, and moderate gastrointestinal upset. Skin rash may occur. It can affect motor control after repeated exposures. Heart damage has been reported. The course of ethyl bromide poisoning was described in three stages. The first stage lasted 2-4 days and involved a garlicky odor on the breath, sleepiness, fatigue, sharp pain and paresthesia of the lower legs, and staggering gate. During the second phase that lasted 2-5 days, the symptoms of the first phase grew more severe. The third phase was characterized by spastic paresthesia of the legs, disturbance of the peripheral nervous system, and atrophy of the lower leg. CNS disturbances can also occur at high ethyl bromide exposures. Prognosis for recovery is good for most patients. ANIMAL STUDIES: Immediate effects of ethyl bromide exposure in mice and rats included increased respiration, hyperactivity, incoordination, dyspnea, and coma. The liquid is apparently irritating to skin and eyes of rabbits and is reported to be absorbed through the skin. Exposure of rats and rabbits by inhalation at 538 ppm ethyl bromide for 4 hr/day for 6 months resulted in disruption of hepatic function as shown by a decrease in hepatic glycogen and fat levels as well as prolonged hexobarbital sleep. Hepatic cell granular dystrophy and decreased cytoplasmic RNA levels were also reported. Another study reported that exposure of rats, also at 538 ppm of ethyl bromide by inhalation resulted in hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the pituitary gland, hypertrophy of the cortex, and increased lipid content of the adrenal gland. Severe testicular atrophy was observed in rats, but not in mice, at 1600 ppm (7.14 g/cu m) ethyl bromide but not at lower concentrations. ln female mice, but not in rats, the size and number of corpora lutea in the ovary were decreased at 1600 ppm (7/10 animals) and at 800 ppm (3.57 g/cu m, 3/9 animals). Ethyl bromide was mutagenic to bacteria, but not to Drosophila melanogaster in a single study. In another single study, ethyl bromide increased the incidence of sister chromatid exchanges, but not of chromosomal aberrations in cultured mammalian cells. In a two year carcinogenicity bioassay by inhalation, a dose related increase in uterine tumors was observed in female mice. A small increase in the incidence of gliomas was found in female rats exposed to the highest dose used.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. One of the most probable protein targets is the TRPA1 ion channel that is expressed in sensory nerves (trigeminal nerve) of the eyes, nose, mouth and lungs. Alkylation of DNA by alkylbromides may also lead to mutations. |
| Plant Concentrations | The release of ethyl bromide by polar macroalgae (Phaeophyta (brown), Rhodophyta (red) and Chlorophyta (green) species native to King George Island, Antarcticgreen species native to Spitsbergen and Disko Island, Greenland) was investigated at 0 °C under a laboratory setting(1).[Table#1523] |

Beschreibung
Ethyl bromide is a colorless to yellow liquid that becomes a gas at temperatures above 101 °F (38 ℃). Ethyl bromide has an etherlike odor and a burning taste. Ethyl bromide is miscible with alcohols, ether, chloroform, and organic solvents; its water solubility is 9000 mg l-1 at 25 ℃. Ethyl bromide’s vapor density relative to air is 3.76.
Verwenden
Bromoethane is an alkylating agent primarily used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and for the ethylation of gasoline. To a lesser extent, it has been used as a fruit and grain fumigant, refrigerant, and solvent. Although proposed occasionally as a general anesthetic in the earlier part of this century, it has not been used to any extent for this purpose (Sayers et al., 1929; Abreu et al., 1939; ITII, 1979; Sittig, 1979; Torkelson and Rowe, 1981;Merck, 1983).
Herstellung & Synthese
synthetische
Bromoethane is produced by the reaction of either hydrogen or potassium bromide with cold ethanol or with ethylene and sulfuric acid (Hawley, 1977; Sittig, 1979; Merck, 1983). It is commercially available at greater than 99% purity. Production from two U.S. manufacturers was estimated at 163.5 million pounds in 1986 (CSITC, 1987); no recent import and export information was available in the literature.
