DISASTER HAZARD: SEE CYANIDES. DANGEROUS; ON CONTACT WITH ACID, ACID FUMES, WATER OR STEAM, THEY WILL PRODUCE...FLAMMABLE VAPORS. /CYANIDES/

/GUIDE 159: SUBSTANCES (IRRITATING)/ Health: Inhalation of vapors or dust is extremely irritating. May cause burning of eyes and flow of tears. May cause coughing, difficult breathing and nausea. Brief exposure effects last only a few minutes. Exposure in an enclosed area may be very harmful. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. /Bromobenzyl cyanides; Bromobenzyl cyanides, liquid; Bromobenzyl cyanides, solid/|/GUIDE 159: SUBSTANCES (IRRITATING)/ Fire or Explosion: Some of these materials may burn, but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. /Bromobenzyl cyanides; Bromobenzyl cyanides, liquid; Bromobenzyl cyanides, solid/|/GUIDE 159: SUBSTANCES (IRRITATING)/ Public Safety: CALL Emergency Response Telephone Number ... . As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. /Bromobenzyl cyanides; Bromobenzyl cyanides, liquid; Bromobenzyl cyanides, solid/|/GUIDE 159: SUBSTANCES (IRRITATING)/ Protective Clothing: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible. /Bromobenzyl cyanides; Bromobenzyl cyanides, liquid; Bromobenzyl cyanides, solid/|For more DOT Emergency Guidelines (Complete) data for ALPHA-BROMOBENZYL CYANIDE (8 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
