Explanation:
What is CHLOROFORM?
Chloroform is a man-made by-product formed when chlorine is used to disinfect water. Chloroform is also
used in industrial processes. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, non-irritating smell and a slightly sweet
taste. It is nonflammable.
Where can chloroform be found and how is it used?
Low levels of chloroform are found in the air and in coastal waters, inland rivers, lakes and groundwater.
Levels can be higher in industrial areas as well as in the air above swimming pools containing chlorine.
Chloroform is used as a solvent, a substance that helps other substances dissolve. Also, it is used in the
building, paper and board industries, and in pesticide and film production. It is used as a solvent for lacquers,
floor polishes, resins, adhesives, alkaloids, fats, oils and rubber. Chloroform is used in making Fluorocarbon-
22, a refrigerant.
Until the mid-1900s, chloroform was used as an anesthetic to reduce pain during medical procedures. Today,
it is not used in this way due to its harmful effects.
