  • Title: Potential halogenated industrial carcinogenic and mutagenic chemicals. II. Halogenated saturated hydrocarbons.
    Author: Fishbein L.
    Journal: Sci Total Environ; 1979 Mar; 11(2):163-95. PubMed ID: 373115.
    Abstract:
    The halogenated saturated hydrocarbons analogously to the previously considered halogenated unsaturated hydrocarbons (Part I) possess considerable utility in a broad spectrum of applications including; solvents, dry-cleaning fluids, refrigerants, fumigants, degreasing agents, propellants and intermediates in the production of other chemicals, textiles and plastics. Methyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, hexachloroethane, ethyl chloride and fluorocarbons were reviewed principally in terms of their synthesis (or occurrence), areas of application, stability, distribution, reactivity, levels of exposure, populations at risk, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and metabolism.
