  2. Chloroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform

    The chloroform molecule can be viewed as a methane molecule with three hydrogen atoms replaced with three chlorine atoms, leaving a single hydrogen atom. The name "chloroform" is a portmanteau of terchloride (tertiary chloride, a trichloride) and formyle, an obsolete name for the methylylidene radical (CH) derived from formic acid. [citation ...

  3. Absorption (skin) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(skin)

    Skin absorption relates to the degree of exposure to and possible effect of a substance which may enter the body through the skin. Human skin comes into contact with many agents intentionally and unintentionally. Skin absorption can occur from occupational, environmental, or consumer skin exposure to chemicals, cosmetics, or pharmaceutical ...

  4. Trihalomethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trihalomethane

    Many kinds of seaweed produce chloroform, and fungi are believed to produce chloroform in soil. [ 3 ] Most of the haloforms — specifically, chloroform ( CHCl 3 ), bromoform ( CHBr 3 ), and iodoform ( CHI 3 ) — are easy to prepare through the haloform reaction , although this method does not lend itself to bulk syntheses.

  5. Trizol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trizol

    Vigilant caution should be taken while using TRIzol (due to the phenol and chloroform). TRIzol is labeled as acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity besides skin corrosion/irritation in the manufacturer MDS. [9] Exposure to TRIzol can be a serious health hazard. Exposure can lead to serious chemical burns, permanent scarring and kidney failure.

  6. Embalming chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embalming_chemicals

    The end result also creates the simulation, via color changes, of the appearance of blood flowing under the skin. Modern embalming is not done with a single fixative. Instead, various chemicals are used to create a mixture, called an arterial solution, which is uniquely generated for the needs of each case.

  7. Defatting (medical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defatting_(medical)

    Defatting is caused by the exposure of human skin to a chemical substance, including alcohols, detergents, chemical solvents and motor oil. Aliphatic compounds (commonly found in kerosene) cause defatting action, with lower-boiling point aliphatics having the greatest defatting action and therefore the most potential to cause dermatitis.

  8. Dichloromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloromethane

    Dichloromethane is widely used as a solvent in part because it is relatively inert. It does participate in reactions with certain strong nucleophiles however. Tert-butyllithium deprotonates DCM: [20] H 2 CCl 2 + RLi → HCCl 2 Li + RH. Methyllithium reacts with methylene chloride to give chlorocarbene: [citation needed]

  9. Liniment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liniment

    Liniment (from Latin: linere, meaning "to anoint"), also called embrocation and heat rub, is a medicated topical preparation for application to the skin. Some liniments have a viscosity similar to that of water; others are lotion or balm; still, others are in transdermal patches , soft solid sticks, and sprays.
