Preferred Label : Bromoethene;
NCIt synonyms : Vinyl Bromide; Bromoethylene; Monobromoethylene;
NCIt definition : A colorless, highly flammable gas of brominated hydrocarbon, with a characteristic
pungent odor. Bromoethene is mainly used in the production of polymers and copolymers
for rubber, plastic, leather and fabricated metal production. Exposure to bromoethene
causes dizziness, disorientation, sleepiness. Chronic exposure causes liver and kidney
damage. Its metabolites, via cytochrome P450 oxidation, are potent alkylating agents
and causes DNA adducts, which is responsible for the carcinogenic effect. Bromoethene
is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
