SECTION 4: First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
If inhaled
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Following skin contact
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer immediately for medical attention.
Following eye contact
Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer immediately for medical attention.
Following ingestion
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes (particularly by dust) causes irritation and possible transient corneal injury. Contact of solid with dry skin causes mild irritation; strong solutions can cause marked irritation, even a superficial burn. (USCG, 1999)

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
10.1 Reactivity
Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes of chlorine (see ICSC 0126). The solution in water is a weak base. Attacks zinc in the presence of water. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). Dissolves violently in water with liberation of much heat.
10.2 Chemical stability
no data available
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Bromine trifluoride rapidly attacks calcium chloride [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:164, 165 1956]. Long term exposure of calcium chloride solution upon a zinc coated galvanized iron vessel caused slow evolution of hydrogen which ignited and exploded [Bretherick, 5th Ed., 1995].
