Bromoform is a chemical compound with the formula CHBr₃. It is a colorless liquid that has a sweet smell 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 presence of bromine in the ocean. However, bromoform can be harmful to human health and the environment, leading to regulations on its use and disposal in many countries.
