It's dangerous stuff, but if the amounts you inhale are small and have prompt treatment your risk of serious damage is slim. They are worse chemicals for your lungs i,e Phosgene. She only dropped a relatively small amount
I think they got a bit over board getting half the towns fire service here,
nope. I was on the level above and i wasn't kicked out. Only the people on the level had to leave. But they locked up the bottom level for the day which in my opinion is overzealous
this is pretty funny. Rather funny in fact... heard it on the news. Only lab technicians hey? Complete bunch of gumbies. What a waste of bromine. And they couldnt even make it out without getting lung damage? hahaha...
Cool stuff! A real Haz-Mat moment. The best I've ever gotten to see was two explosions done by the bomb squad.

Wow, Bromine isn't that bad, It smells terrible. But I mean is it really that bad they bring firetrucks in?

That would be very exciting but still pretty scary

The lab tech didn't use the fume hood? for BROMINE?

There is a fumehood in that room. But I think she dropped the glass bottle outside the fumehood.

i talked to the fire people off camera. It was Br2.
I'm sure the person will be fine. Bromine isn't too bad and she didn't inhale that much. She's just in hospital to be monitored

@mewrox99 Not that bad? I worked in chemistry labs for about a decade and the worst burn I ever had was a bromine spill on my hand.
Sure, there are *worse* things to spill on yourself or inhale, but I would hardly classify Bromine as "isn't too bad"
