Common NameBromine
DescriptionBromine, also known as brom or BR2, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous halogens. These are inorganic non-metallic compounds in which the largest atom is a nobel gas. Bromide compounds, especially potassium bromide, were frequently used as general sedatives in the 19th and early 20th century. The bromide ion is a central nervous system depressant and chronic exposure produces neuronal effects. Bromine is possibly neutral. Outside of the human body, Bromine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as brazil nuts, yellow bell peppers, and red bell peppers and in a lower concentration in cashew nuts, common hazelnuts, and pepper (c. Annuum). Bromine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as lettuces, redcurrants, cloudberries, broccoli, and european plums. This could make bromine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Bromine is a potentially toxic compound. Symptoms include lacrimation, rhinorrhoea, eye irritation with mucous secretions from the oropharyngeal and upper airways, coughing, dyspnoea, choking, wheezing, epistaxis, and headache. Bromine was first documented in 1985 (PMID: 3975796). Bromine is corrosive and toxic, with properties between those of chlorine and iodine (PMID: 19321340).
