Bromoform was discovered in 1832 by Löwig who distilled a mixture of bromal and potassium hydroxide, as analogous to preparation of chloroform from chloral. [5]Bromoform can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis of potassium bromide in ethanol, or by treating chloroform with aluminium bromide.
The EPA limits the total concentration of the four chief constituents (chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane, and dibromochloromethane), referred to as total trihalomethanes (TTHM), to 80 parts per billion in treated water. [6] Traces of chloroform are produced in swimming pools. [7] [8] [9] [10]
Heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) contributes to climate change.It has a global warming potential (GWP) of 3,220 over 100 years. [3]Due to its high GWP, the HFC-227ea has been included in the list of controlled substances of the Montreal Protocol (2016 Kigali amendment, in effect in January 2019). [4]
Representative agents include bromoform and dibromodimethylhydantoin ("DBDMH"). [7] Some herbicides, such as bromoxynil , contain also bromine moieties. Like other halogenated pesticides , bromoxynil is subject to reductive dehalogenation under anaerobic conditions, and can be debrominated by organisms originally isolated for their ability to ...

Bromomethane, commonly known as methyl bromide, is an organobromine compound with formula C H 3 Br.This colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas is produced both industrially and biologically.

Civilian models in 2-3/4, 3, and 4 lb sizes were also made. It is considered good practice to avoid all unnecessary exposure to Halon 1301, and to limit exposures to concentrations of 7% and below to 15 minutes. Exposure to Halon 1301 in the 5% to 7% range produces little, if any, noticeable effect.
