CHBr3
CHBr3, also known as bromoform, is a chemical compound composed of one carbon atom, one hydrogen atom, and three bromine atoms. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a sweet odor. Bromoform is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a solvent in laboratories.
In addition to its industrial applications, CHBr3 has been studied for its potential effects on the environment and human health. It is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can contribute to air pollution. Proper handling and disposal are essential to minimize its impact on ecosystems and safety.
