Uses Of Bromine
(50.7% Bromine-79 and 49.3% Bromine-81)
- The only nonmetallic element that is a liquid at room temperature.

dyestuffs(substance that yields a dye or can be used as a dye),water purification compounds, and flame-retardants
Latest research was done in 2014 confirming that Bromine has a critical role in tissue development
How it Affects the Body
