This chapter contains details on 12 unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons. The considered chemicals are 1,3‐dichloropropene, cis ‐ and trans ‐1,2‐dichloroethylene, dichloroacetylene, allyl chloride, hexachlorobutadiene, β‐chloropropene, vinylidene chloride, vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, vinyl fluoride, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene. These compounds are used as fumigants, pesticides, solvents, and chemical intermediates. This chapter follows the outline determined for compounds and includes physical and chemical properties, production and use, exposure assessment, toxic effects (experimental animal and epidemiology studies), standards, regulations, and guidelines, and studies on environmental impact.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
