Hazard categories
Skin corrosion or irritation (Category 1). Causes severe skin burns and eye damage (H314). Do not breathe dust or fumes (P260). Serious eye damage or irritation (Category 1). Causes serious eye damage (H318) Pyridinium tribromide is a solid used as a safer or "greener" alternative to elemental bromine, which is volatile, highly corrosive, and fatal if inhaled. Pyridinium tribromide exists in rapid equilibrium with bromine in solution and thus slowly releases bromine when dissolved. Treat with care and do not use with metals.
