How you could be exposed to bromine
Following the release of bromine into water, you could be exposed by drinking the contaminated water.
If food becomes contaminated with bromine, you could be exposed by eating the contaminated food.
Following release of bromine gas into the air, you could be exposed by breathing the fumes.
Skin exposure to bromine could occur through direct contact with bromine liquid or gas.
Bromine gas is heavier than air, so it would settle in low-lying areas.
