C1 und C2 Halocarbons

  • Chapter
Anthropogenic Compounds

Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC3,volume 3 / 3B))

Abstract

Public concern over the possible effects of chemicals on man and his environment has largely focussed on a small number of classes of compounds; of these, chlorinated hydrocarbons are perhaps the best known. A cursory examination of the scientific literature could easily lead to the impression that they consist entirely of chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls; but in terms of total quantity produced, these are less important than many others. This Chapter discusses another class, the aliphatic C1 and C2 Halocarbons, which includes most of the halogenated products of the Organic Chemicals industry, which are of major commercial importance. (Table 1); it excludes all those containing Fluorine.
