Sodium bromide (NaBr) under TSCA
NaBr · 溴化钠
Status: Listed. Sodium bromide is on the TSCA Inventory and currently listed as TSCA Active. **No specific OSHA PEL** for sodium bromide at 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-1 (verify against https://www.osha.gov/annotated-pels before relying); the OSHA Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) framework provides 15 mg/m3 total dust + 5 mg/m3 respirable as default. NOT on EPA RMP threshold list. NOT on DEA scheduling. NOT on California Proposition 65 (verify against OEHHA https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list before relying on negative listing). NO active US AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin sodium bromide currently (verify against https://access.trade.gov/ before invoicing). Section 301 List 3 25% additional duty applies on Chinese-origin sodium bromide (HS 282710) (verify against current USTR Section 301 schedule before invoicing). USP / NF monograph applies for pharma-grade. **EPA FIFRA registers sodium bromide as a pesticide active in pool / spa sanitation systems (typically as a precursor to active hypobromous acid HOBr after addition of oxidiser)** (verify current FIFRA registration status against https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration before relying). Major US domestic producers: Albemarle Magnolia Arkansas + Lanxess El Dorado Arkansas Smackover-formation brine extraction operations, ICL Group Bromine Compounds Beer Sheva Israel imports + US distribution; verify each company-site pair against the producer's public website before relying.
US sodium bromide lane: **No specific OSHA PEL (PNOR default) + Section 301 List 3 + USP / NF + EPA FIFRA pool / spa sanitiser**. NOT on Cal Prop 65. NO active US AD/CVD. Major US producers: Albemarle (Arkansas) + Lanxess (Arkansas) Smackover brine + ICL (Israel) imports.
