Bromoform is a chemical compound with the formula CHBr3. It is a colorless liquid that has a sweet odor and is classified as a haloform, which means it contains bromine. Bromoform is primarily used in laboratories and industrial applications, including as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. This compound is also found in small amounts in natural sources, such as seawater, due to the breakdown of organic matter. Bromoform is considered a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can contribute to environmental concerns, particularly in relation to air quality and water pollution.
