Bromine vapour causes irritation and direct damage to the mucous membranes. Elemental bromine also burns the skin. The bromide ion is a central nervous system depressant and chronic exposure produces neuronal effects. This is called bromism and can result in central reactions reaching from somnolence to coma, cachexia, exicosis, loss of reflexes or pathologic reflexes, clonic seizures, tremor, ataxia, loss of neural sensitivity, paresis, papillar edema of the eyes, abnormal speech, cerebral edema, delirium, aggressiveness, and psychoses.

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Calcium bromide (CaBr2) is a solid. The major use for CaBr2 is as a component of high-density clear drilling, completion, workover, and packing fluids to control wellbore pressures. Calcium bromide is also used in photography, in medicine, in sizing compounds, as a wood preservative, and in flame retardant blends. An important new use for CaBr2 is in the control of mercury emissions at power generation units and incinerators. HUMAN STUDIES: Bromoderma is a cutaneous eruption caused by the absorption of bromide. Clinical manifestations include acneiform and vegetative lesions. The case of an infant with bromoderma was reported caused by the use of syrup for abdominal colic containing CaBr2. The lesions regressed after discontinuation of the drug. A 25-year-old female suffered from forgetfulness and unstable gait after long-term frequent injections of a preparation to relieve head and neck pain. Blood tests showed hyperchloremia (171 mEq/L) and a negative anion gap (-48.7 mEq/L). Serum bromide measured 2150 mg/L. Calcium bromide brine is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of calcium bromide and calcium chloride. It is used extensively in the oil industry. This solution and its components are recognized as causes of skin injury. Two patients who were injured following unprotected skin exposure to this solution and one patient who was injured following exposure to calcium chloride powder are reported. All sustained skin injuries characterised by an absence of pain and a delayed clinical appearance of the full extent of the injury. Furthermore healing was complicated by graft loss or was slow. ANIMAL STUDIES: A New Zealand White rabbit was treated with single instillation of 0.1 mL of the calcium bromide; eyes were unwashed for 24 hours. The eye was observed at 1 and 24 hours. Transcluent corneal opacity, iridial inflammation, severe irritation and sloughing of the cornea with petechial hemorrhage of the lower conjunctival membrane and an area of possible necrosis over this area and the nictitating membrane were noted in the treated eye at the 1 and 24-hour observations. Three New Zealand White rabbits were treated with 0.5 g of calcium bromide moistened in 0.5 mL of water for 4 hours. They were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 74 hours and at 7 days. Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at all treated skin sites 1 hour after patch removal and at the 24 hr observation. Inhalation exposure of rats for 1 hour to a dust atmosphere of calcium bromide at calculated concentration of 204 mg/L did not result in any observable toxic effects during or after the exposure. In Ames test with calcium bromide no significant increases in revertant colony numbers over control counts were obtained with any of the tester strains following exposure to the test material dissolved in water at levels from 50 to 5000 ug per plate, either in the presence or the absence of the metabolic activation. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: High concentrations of CaBr2 were harmful to Daphnia's reproduction and could reduce its abundance. CaBr2 showed toxic effect on the root tip cells of shallot (Allium cepa L. var. ascalonicum) in concentration 0.05 mol/cu dm.
Bromine is a powerful oxidizing agent and is able to release oxygen free radicals from the water in mucous membranes. These free radicals are also potent oxidizers and produce tissue damage. In additon, the formation of hydrobromic and bromic acids will result in secondary irritation. The bromide ion is also known to affect the central nervous system, causing bromism. This is believed to be a result of bromide ions substituting for chloride ions in the in actions of neurotransmitters and transport systems, thus affecting numerous synaptic processes. (L626, L627, A543)
/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Concentrated CaCl2 and CaBr2 salt solutions of densities up to 2.3 kg/L are regularly used to control hydrostatic pressure in oil wells during special operations in the exploration and production of natural gas and crude oil. Various concentrations of high density salts are frequently left in mud pits near the drilling site as waste, polluting fresh and ground waters by spillage and drainage. The toxic effects of these salts have already been observed. This study investigated the effects of CaCl2 and CaBr2 on water flea Daphnia magna Straus in a 21-day reproduction test. The three tested concentrations of CaCl2 (240, 481, and 1925 mg/L) caused a significant dose-response decrease of reproduction (p<0.001). With CaBr2 (533 and 1066 mg/L), only aborted eggs were produced, demonstrating the embryotoxicity of the substance. The results suggest that high concentrations of the tested chemicals are harmful to Daphnia's reproduction and could reduce its abundance.
/PLANTS/ Saturated water solutions of calcium chloride, calcium bromide (densities 1.30 kg/cu dm and 1.61 kg/cu dm, respectively) and their 1:1 mixture have been commonly used as oil industry "high-density brines." In our experiment they were added to tap water in amounts appropriate to achieve concentrations of 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 mol/cu dm to study their cytotoxic effect on the root tip cells of shallot (Allium cepa L. var. ascalonicum). All tested solutions in concentrations of 0.075 and 0.1 mol/cu dm caused significant inhibition of shallot root growth. CaBr (2) showed this effect in concentration 0.05 mol/cu dm. The investigated solutions in all concentrations applied decreased mitotic activity in root tip cells. The most of mitotic abnormalities were the consequence of spindle failure and chromosome stickiness. Furthermore, the cell microtubules were investigated by indirect immunofluorescence to confirm that most abnormalities observed were the consequence of spindle failure. The present study, as well as previously done Lemna tests and Chlorella tests showed that investigated samples have certain effects on plants, so constant control of their presence in the environment is needed.

Bromine vapour causes irritation and direct damage to the mucous membranes. Symptoms include lacrimation, rhinorrhoea, eye irritation with mucous secretions from the oropharyngeal and upper airways, coughing, dyspnoea, choking, wheezing, epistaxis, and headache. The bromide ion is a central nervous system depressant producing ataxia, slurred speech, tremor, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, dizziness, visual disturbances, unsteadiness, headaches, impaired memory and concentration, disorientation and hallucinations. This is called bromism. (L626, L627)

/CASE REPORTS/ Bromoderma is a cutaneous eruption caused by the absorption of bromide. Clinical manifestations include acneiform and vegetative lesions. We report the case of an infant with bromoderma caused by the use of syrup for abdominal colic containing calcium bromide. The lesions regressed after discontinuation of the drug.
/CASE REPORTS/ Bromism, chronic bromide intoxication, can be caused by a variety of medicines, but bromism due to pain-relieving injectable medications has not been reported. In this study, the methods used were internet searching on bromide-containing injectables available in Taiwan and the first case report of bromism due to mixed-formulated injectable medication. Many analgesic/antipyretic and antihistamine injections containing bromides are still being used in Taiwan. They contain sodium bromide up to 1000 mg/ampoule or calcium bromide up to 800 mg/amp. A 25-year-old female suffered from forgetfulness and unstable gait after long-term frequent injections of a preparation to relieve head and neck pain. Blood tests showed hyperchloremia (171 mEq/L) and a negative anion gap (-48.7 mEq/L). Serum bromide measured 2150 mg/L. She recovered completely in 3 days with saline treatment. Many bromide-containing injections are still being used in Taiwan. Clinicians should keep alert on this issue to avoid iatrogenic bromism or making misdiagnoses.
/CASE REPORTS/ Calcium bromide brine is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of calcium bromide and calcium chloride. It is used extensively in the oil industry. This solution and its components are recognized as causes of skin injury and information is available from the manufacturers on their safe use and handling. Two patients who were injured following unprotected skin exposure to this solution and one patient who was injured following exposure to calcium chloride powder are reported. All sustained skin injuries characterised by an absence of pain and a delayed clinical appearance of the full extent of the injury. Furthermore healing was complicated by graft loss or was slow. Although organic bromine compounds are recognized as a cause of skin injuries, no previous reports of such injuries to humans secondary to calcium chloride or bromide exposure were found in the medical literature. Our experience with these patients is described.
Calcium bromide's production and use in photography for making dry plates and light-sensitive papers, manufacture of mineral waters, ammonium bromide, and as a veterinary and human pharmaceuticals(1), and food preservtive(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Its use in fire extinguishing compositions(1), road treatments, wood preservative(2) and in oil and gas drilling in deep, high pressure oil and gas wells(3) will result in its direct release to the environment(SRC).
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ A New Zealand White rabbit was treated with single instillation of 0.1 mL of the test substance /calcium bromide/; eyes were unwashed for 24 hours. The eye was observed at 1 and 24 hours. Transcluent corneal opacity, iridial inflammation, severe conjubctival irritation and sloughing of the cornea with petechial haemorrhage of the lower conjunctival membrane and an area of possible necrosis over this area and the nictitating membrane were noted in the treated eye at the 1 and 24-hour observations. A blood stained discharge was noted at the 24-hour observation and the animal was killed for humane reasons. The test material, calcium bromide, produced a maximum total score of 61.0 and was considered to be at least a severe irritant (class 6 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system (based on rabbit only).
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ /Three New Zealand White rabbits were treated with 0.5 g of calcium bromide moistened in 0.5 mL of water for 4 hours. They were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and at 7 days./ Very slight to well-defined erythema was noted at all treated skin sites 1 hour after patch removal and at the 24 hr observation. Very slight or well-defined erythema was also noted at two treated skin sites at the 48 and 72 hour observations. Slight edema was noted at all treated skin sites 1 hour after patch removal with very slight to slight edema at the 24-hour observation. Very slight edema persisted at two treated skin sites at the 48 and 72-hours observations. Crust formation was confined to one treated skin site at the 7-day observation. This was considered to be reversible reaction. A small area of possible dermal necrosis was noted along the edge of two treatment sites and developed into a hardened dark brown-colored scab. This reaction was considered to have been caused by the surgical adhesive tape in contact with the test material. The test material, calcium bromide, produced a primary irritation index of 2.5 and was classified as a moderate irritant to rabbit skin according to the Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Inhalation exposure of rats for 1 hour to a dust atmosphere of calcium bromide at calculated concentration of 204 mg/L did not result in any observable toxic effects during or after the exposure.
/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Four male and 4 female Kew Zealand White rabbits were used for this study. The rabbits weighed from 2304 to 2934 grams at the beginning of this study. The hair was removed from the back of each rabbit (20 - 30% of the body surface) with an electric clipper. The rabbits were divided into 2 groups of 2 male and 2 female rabbits each. The skin of one male and one female in each group was abraded with a scalpel blade. The abrasions penetrated the stratum corneum, but were not deep enough to cause bleeding. The test material /calcium bromide/ was applied once only to the backs of the rabbits, using 0.9% physiological saline as the wetting agent, at the following dosage levels: 200 and 2000 mg/kg. The area of application was wrapped with gauze bandaging and occluded with Saran Wrap. Twenty-four hours later the bandages were removed and the backs were washed with tepid tap water. They were observed at 24 hours and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days for mortality only. One of 4 rabbits at the 2000 mg/kg dosage level died. None of the rabbits at the 200 mg/kg dosage level died during the observation period. All rabbits exhibited body weight gains during the study period with the exception of animal number 28124 which showed an actual weight loss of 396 grams. The minimum lethal dose by the dermal route of administration was found to be less than 2000 mg/kg but greater than 200 mg/kg.
Common manufacturing techniques include reaction of calcium hydroxide, oxide, or carbonate with bromine and formic acid, or with formaldehyde. Another method involves the reaction of hydrogen bromide with calcium hydroxide in the presence of water and carbonates. The reaction mixture is acidified to pH 1-3 in order to convert at least a portion of the carbonates to carbon dioxide. Vacuum concentration, filtration, and drying result in a crystalline calcium bromide product, whereas spray-drying produces a powder.

説明Calcium bromide has the chemical formula CaBr2. It was first prepared by Pfeiffer, Klossmann and Angern in 1924. It is a deliquescent salt that has the form of colorless hexagonal crystals that are soluble in water and absolute alcohol. Its molecular weight is 199.90 g/ mol for the anhydride. When strongly heated in air, calcium bromide will produce CaO (lime) and Br2. It is generally obtained as the dihydrate, CaBr2·2H2O, in the form of a white crystalline powder. A hexahydrate, CaBr2·6H2O, is also known. Anhydrous calcium bromide is obtained by dehydration (250°C, vacuum) of the dihydrate CaBr2·2H2O. On contact with hot surfaces or flames, CaBr2 decomposes forming bromine as a toxic and corrosive fume. It also reacts with strong acids to produce corrosive fumes of bromine. In its solid anhydrous state, it is a white powder. CaBr2 can be found in drilling muds, neuroses medication, freezing mixtures, food preservatives, photography and fire retardants. The anhydride has a melting point of 730°C and a boiling point of 810°C where it decomposes. Its density is 3.41 g/cm3. It is moderately soluble in water at 142 g/100 ml of water.
使用Made by the action of hydrobromic acid on calcium oxide and crystallization. The white granular crystals are soluble in water. Calcium bromide was used in making collodion emulsions, particularly for dye-sensitized plates.
製造方法CaBr2·2H2O has a melting point of 38°C where it dissolves in its own waters of hydration. Its density is 2.290 g/cm3. It can be prepared by reaction in solution with HBr on the carbonate: CaCO3 (solid)+HBr (liq)→CaBr2 (liq)+ CO2 (gas) An improved method for producing calcium bromide has been developed by reacting hydrogen bromide with calcium hydroxide in the presence of water.
