Additional information

Read across from NaBr to CaBr2 is possible due to the full dissociation of both compounds in water. Na+ and Ca2+ are not toxic in the concentration ranges where Br- is toxic. Therefore only the Br- is responsible for the toxicity effects.

The acute toxicity to calcium bromide to the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna has been investigated and gave a 48-hour EC50 of greater than 100mg ai/l. Correspondingly, the No Observed Effect Concentration was greater than or equal to 100 mg ai/l.
