  Bromine vapours are even more hazardous as they produce bronchial spasms and pneumonia. Plants: Bromine is a trace element. Bromides do not damage plants, but are not necessarily required. [wgbis.ces.iisc.ernet.in]

  Prolonged overexposure to bromine can cause dizziness, headache, and cough followed by abdominal pain and, later, lung edema and pneumonia if the exposure is severe enough. [inspectapedia.com]

• Diarrhea

  Systemic exposure has been shown to result in convulsions, gastrointestinal effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain), and acute renal failure (HSDB, 1995). [eco-chick.com]

• Hypotension

  Signs and Symptoms of Acute Bromine Exposure: Signs and symptoms of acute exposure to bromine may include hypotension (low blood pressure), tachycardia (rapid heart rate), cyanosis (blue tint to the skin and mucous membranes), and circulatory collapse [cameochemicals.noaa.gov]

• Flushing

  In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. WARM water MUST be used. Get medical attention immediately. [omagdigital.com]

  The mixture is neutralized with soda ash or dilute HCl and flushed to the sewer with large volumes of water. [chemicalbook.com]

• Burning Eyes

  Is corrosive to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Inhalation may cause sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath, laboured breathing and dizziness. Skin contact is corrosive and causes redness, pain and serious burns. [ihcworld.com]

  For instance, someone exposed to chlorine in a large outdoor pool may have only a cough and burning eyes. Someone else exposed to high levels of chlorine in a small room may die of respiratory failure. [webmd.com]

• Photophobia

  Ocular exposure to bromine causes lacrimation, photophobia and blepharospasm. --Health effects of chronic exposure Inhalation exposure to bromine vapour causes disturbances of the respiratory, nervous and endocrine systems. [sciencemadness.org]

  At the lowest concentrations, the effects are chiefly on the eyes; that is, conjunctivitis, swollen eyelids, itchiness, smarting, pain, photophobia, and blurring of vision. At higher concentrations, respiratory tract symptoms are more pronounced. [inspectapedia.com]

  Lacrimation (tearing), photophobia (heightened sensitivity to light), nosebleeds, coughing, asphyxiation, and pulmonary edema may also occur. A burning pain in the mouth and esophagus generally follows ingestion. [cameochemicals.noaa.gov]
