Dibromochloromethane is a colorless to yellow, heavy and nonflammable compound with formula CHBr 2 Cl. [1] [2] It is a trihalomethane. The substance has a sweet odour. [3] Small quantities of dibromochloromethane are produced in ocean by algae. [citation needed]

What are bromoform and dibromochloromethane? Bromoform (also known as tribromomethane) and dibromochloromethane are colorless to yellow, heavy, nonburnable liquids with a sweetish odor.

Dibromochloromethane exposition occurs by drinking water that has been treated with chlorine, at a swimming pool, by breathing bromoform or dibromochloromethane that has evaporated into the air, or by uptake from the water through the skin.

Bromoform and dibromochloromethane concentrations in public supply or tap water are in the low microgram/L range. Dibromochloromethane is often found more frequently than bromoform in samples from chlorinated water systems.

Bromoform and dibromochloromethane are formed as by-products when chlorine is added to water supply systems. High levels of bromoform or dibromochloromethane can damage the liver and kidneys and affect the brain.

Bromoform (also known as tribromomethane) and dibromochloromethane are colorless to yellow, heavy, nonburnable liquids with a sweetish odor. These chemicals are possible contaminants of drinking water that has been chlorinated to kill bacteria and viruses that could cause serious waterborne infectious diseases.

Bromoform and dibromochloromethane are colorless to yellow, heavy, nonflammable, liquids with a sweet odor. Small amounts are formed naturally by plants in the ocean. They are somewhat soluble in water and readily evaporate into the air.

inhalation exposure to bromoform or dibromochloromethane. Hepatic Effects. Two studies (Dykan 1962, 1964; published in Russian and available only as the English abstract) indicate that inhalation exposure of animals to high concentrations of bromoform leads to hepatic injury.

Dibromochloromethane is one of several trihalomethanes (including chloroform, bromodichloromethane, and bromoform) which are formed from the interaction of chlorine with the organic materials found in water.

1987年9月30日 · Based on inadequate human data and limited evidence of carcinogenicity in animals; namely, positive carcinogenic evidence in B6C3Fl mice (males and females), together with positive mutagenicity data, and structural similarity to other trihalomethanes, which are known animal carcinogens.
