Summary, etc. Chloroform is a clear colorless, volatile liquid with a pleasant etheric odour. It is mainly used in the production of chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22), which is used (in decreasing quantities) as a refrigerant and (increasingly) as a fluoropolymer feedstock. <br/><br/>Chloroform may be released into the environment from HCFC-22 plant and from pulp and paper mills using chlorine-based chemicals for bleaching and disinfection purposes. It is estimated that about 90% of total chloroform emissions into the environment are natural in origin. <br/><br/>Chloroform is also the principal by-product of water disinfectant processes such as chlorine-chloramine, chlorine-chlorine and ozone-chlorine treatment. Levels vary widely depending upon concentrations of organic materials in the raw water, and are also influenced by treatment method, temperature and pH. <br/><br/>This book evaluates the risk to human health and the environment posed by exposures to chloroform. Human data on its toxicity are limited, but the liver is a key target organ in laboratory animals and likely to be so in humans.
