2-bromoacetate

接触可导致严重的皮肤和眼睛灼伤，吸入也会刺激鼻子、喉咙和肺部。吸入可能导致喉头和支气管痉挛、炎症和水肿、化学性肺炎和肺水肿。暴露症状可能包括灼烧感、咳嗽、喘息、喉炎、呼吸困难、头痛、恶心和呕吐。该物质对粘膜和上呼吸道组织、眼睛和皮肤具有极强的破坏性。

溴乙酸是一种强催泪剂。动物研究还表明，溴乙酸是一种致畸物（发育毒素），在剂量为100毫克/公斤/天时会导致胎儿软组织畸形。溴乙酸也是一种诱变剂和细胞毒性物质。

EYES: irrigate opened eyes for several minutes under running water. INGESTION: do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). Seek immediate medical advice. SKIN: should be treated immediately by rinsing the affected parts in cold running water for at least 15 minutes, followed by thorough washing with soap and water. If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention. INHALATION: supply fresh air. If required provide artificial respiration.

LD50: 177 mg/kg (口服, 大鼠) (A548)

有机溴化合物，特别是烷基溴是强烷基化剂。因此它们可以随机修饰蛋白质和脂质的表面，导致酶、转运蛋白或膜功能紊乱。最可能的蛋白质靶标之一是在眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴和肺的感觉神经(三叉神经)中表达的TRPA1离子通道。有机溴对DNA的烷基化也可能导致突变。
