What it concludes

Making bromine in a garage with makeshift equipment increases risks and requires extreme caution.
Using TCCA and sodium bromide produces chlorine gas which then reacts with sodium bromide to generate bromine.
Sulfuric acid is effective for trapping bromine and neutralising vapors, but handling it with hazardous waste requires proper containment.
Despite the nostalgic challenges and safety risks, the DIY bromine synthesis in the garage was successfully completed with a 67% yield.
