First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting - following ingestion and/or prior to gastric evacuation, immediately dilute with 4 to 8 ounces (120 to 240 ml) of milk or water (not to exceed 15 ml/kg in a child).
Inhalation
Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with beta2 agonist and corticosteroid aerosols.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. A physician should examine the area if irritation or pain persists. Treat dermal irritation or burns with standard topical therapy. Patients developing dermal hypersensitivity reactions may require treatment with systemic or topical corticosteroids or antihistamines.
Eyes
Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Flammables-area. Refrigerator (approx 4 C). Store protected from moisture. Store away from heat, oxidizing agents, acids, alkalies, and sunlight.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Inhalation
Respiratory tract irritation with potential chemical pneumonitis or noncardiogenic pulmonary edema may occur.
Skin
Dermal irritation or burns may be seen.
Eyes
Eye, nose, and throat irritation may be seen.
Ingestion
Esophageal or gi tract irritation or burns may occur.
Hazards
This material detonates at 428F or more; ignites by impact. Emits highly toxic fumes of bromides when heated to decomposition. Reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. Becomes shock-sensitive when mixed with chloropicrin. Unstable, avoid heat, flame, shock, and other chemicals

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles.
Respirators
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Exposure Effects
Alcoholic beverage consumption may enhance the toxic effects of this substance.
Poison Class
3

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
18
Autoignition
328
Fire Fighting
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Do not get water inside container. Cool containers that are exposed to flames with water from the side until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due to fire. Isolate for 1/2 mile in all directions if tank car or truck is involved in fire.To extinguish fire use water, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical.
Fire Potential
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard. Use water spray to knock-down vapors.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Peroxides, caustics, copper, copper alloys, mercury, silver, trichloronitromethane, dinitrogen tetraoxide, nitric acid, bromine trifluoride, uranium hexafluoride, sulfur dichloride, dichlorohydrantoin, sulfuric acid + nitric acid, silver perchlorate, iron chlorides, sulfur dioxide.
Stability
When propargyl bromide is diluted with 20-30% by weight of toluene, its explosive properties are practically eliminated.
Decomposition
Carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide, hydrogen bromide.
Combustion Products
Releases hydrogen bromide fumes when heated.
