Bromine is mainly absorbed via inhalation, but may also enter the body through dermal contact. Bromine salts can be ingested. Due to its reactivity, bromine quickly forms bromide and may be deposited in the tissues, displacing other halogens. (L626)
Biological half-lives of bromine in 15 different organs and tissues of the rat, in addition to the whole-body half-life, were determined by measuring the radioactive concentration of 82Br-bromide in samples of tissues collected at the time intervals of 12-396 hr from animals that continuously (up to 17 d) received 82Br-labeled bromide in their drinking water. The half-life values, calculated from the experimental data by the method of gradual estimates of the parameters in question with the SPSS statistical program, ranged from 94.3 + or - 14.6 hr in the thyroid gland to 235.0 + or - 88.9 hr in liver. In most of the studied tissues, the biological half-lives of bromine were shorter than in the whole body, in which it equaled 197.8 + or - 22.2 hr. Significant correlation between the values of the steady-state concentration of bromide and of the biological half-life was found for most tissues (except for liver). ...

Due to its potent oxidatizing action, bromine liberates nascent oxygen or oxygen free radicals from the water present in mucous membranes. Nascent oxygen is a potent oxidizer, capable of producing tissue damage. The extent of the damage is dependent on the dose of bromine and the availability of water to react with it. In addition, the formation of hydrobromic and bromic acids will result in secondary irritation during the reaction.
