TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 49(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that dibromodifluoromethane is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of dibromodifluoromethane from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.03 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). Volatilization of dibromodifluoromethane from dry soil surfaces is expected to occur rapidly(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 820 mm Hg(4). Based upon the highly halogenated structure of dibromodifluoromethane, biodegradation is expected to be slow(5).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 49(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that dibromodifluoromethane is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.03 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 1.5 hrs and 5.7 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 6.9(SRC), from an estimated log Kow(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Based upon the highly halogenated structure of dibromodifluoromethane, biodegradation is expected to be slow(8).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), dibromodifluoromethane, which has a vapor pressure of 820 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely in the vapor-phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase dibromodifluoromethane is slowly degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be greater than 44 years(3), based on its rate constant of <5.0X10-16 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(4). Dibromodifluoromethane absorbs very little UV radiation above 290 nm and is not expected to photolyze at an environmentally important rate in the ambient atmosphere(5). Based on dibromodifluoromethane's long residence time in the atmosphere, it will diffuse gradually into the upper limits of the troposphere, and eventually into the stratosphere above the ozone layer where it will contribute to ozone depletion(6).

Neurotoxin - Acute solvent syndrome；Occupational hepatotoxin - Secondary hepatotoxins: the potential for toxic effect in the occupational setting is based on cases of poisoning by human ingestion or animal experimentation.；Toxic Pneumonitis - Inflammation of the lungs induced by inhalation of metal fumes or toxic gases and vapors.

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.

In Animals: irritation respiratory system; central nervous system symptoms; liver damage

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for dibromodifluoromethane can be estimated to be about 49(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that dibromodifluoromethane is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

Dibromodifluoromethane (CBr2F2, CAS # 75-61-6) was evaluated for behavioral changes associated with acute inhalation toxicity in 4 male cats individually exposed in an airtight Plexiglas cages to slowly increasing atmospheric concentrations (in air) approaching 3 vol%. Evaporated from a thermostated vessel, CBr2F2 was mixed immediately with the main air supply (gas density of 1.90 gm/cm3), the ambient atmospheric content controlled by floating-body gauges and monitored by gas densitometer at the exhaust end of the experimental chamber. Treatment in 2 cats each of 99.4 and 96.4 vol% samples was associated with clinical signs of increasing gravity with increasing atmospheric concentrations, including enlarged pupils and blinking eyelids, arched back, head shaking, raised fur, tremor, slight to extreme restlessness, static gait, optisthotonus, gasping, salivation, prostration and marked ataxia, tonic convulsions, and clonic convulsions. The symptoms, their time to onset and the associated atmospheric levels of CBr2F2 were largely consistent between individual cats and samples, with behavioral changes and narcosis first noted at approximately 0.5% v/v (10 minutes) and convulsions at 2.2-2.7 v/v (44-57 minutes). The time to near recovery, generally defined by the authors by the cat's return to its feet, ranged from 2.5 to 10 minutes after termination of the exposures, although ataxia persisted (duration unspecified) in all animals.

URBAN/SUBURBAN: Numerous air samples taken from four separate landfills located in New Jersey contained detectable levels of dibromodifluoromethane(1). At one landfill, dibromodifluoromethane was detected 85% of the time while at the other three landfills it was detected 65% of the time (concentrations not specified)(1). A study of the types and levels of brominated compounds released into the atmosphere by chemical manufacturers in the state of Arkansas revealed detectable levels of dibromodifluoromethane over a two year period(2). Many of the chemicals studied were detected off plant property suggesting transport into neighboring environments was occurring(2).
