When it comes to bromine, I believe everyone is very familiar with it. It is a reddish brown liquid with an irritating odor, strong corrosiveness, and strong toxicity. So how should toxicity leakage be prevented during use? How to prevent poisoning?

Firstly, when storing bromine products, a good storage location should be selected, usually in a cool, ventilated, and dry warehouse. In summer, it is also necessary to prevent sunlight exposure, isolate from fire and heat sources, and not store or transport them together with ammonia, phosphorus, aluminum powder, and alkali. Keep away from flammable materials such as sawdust, shavings, and straw to prevent combustion. Handle with care during transportation and loading and unloading to avoid breakage of jars (bottles). In case of fire, water, dry sand, and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers can be used to extinguish it.

Precautions for using bromine:

1. Ventilation equipment must be installed in hazardous chemical storage areas, and attention should be paid to equipment protection. The ventilation system should be equipped with grounding devices that can remove static electricity. The temperature inside buildings storing hazardous chemicals should not be too high. Ventilation pipes, heating pipes, and equipment should be made of non combustible materials.

2. Dangerous chemical storage areas should also have communication and alarm devices to promptly report accidents.

3. In the bromine operation, if inhalation occurs, we need to quickly leave the site and go to fresh air to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered.

4. If breathing stops, immediately perform artificial respiration and seek medical attention promptly.

5. If ingested or ingested, rinse mouth with water, drink milk or egg white, and seek medical attention promptly.

6. If skin contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing, rinse with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes, and then seek medical attention promptly.

7. If eye contact occurs, immediately lift the eyes and face, thoroughly rinse with plenty of flowing water or physiological saline for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical attention promptly.

8. Toxic bromine, the above operations must be done well during operation.
