Unsaturated Halogenated Hydrocarbons
Abstract
This chapter contains details on 12 unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons. The considered chemicals are 1,3‐dichloropropene (DCP), cis ‐ and trans ‐1,2‐dichloroethylene (DCE), dichloroacetylene (DCA), allyl chloride (AC), hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), β‐chloropropene, vinylidene chloride (VDC), vinyl chloride (VC), vinyl bromide (VB), vinyl fluoride (VF), trichloroethene (TCE), and tetrachloroethene (PCE). These compounds are used as fumigants, pesticides, solvents, and chemical intermediates. This chapter follows the outline determined for compounds and includes physical and chemical properties, production and use, exposure assessment in air and workplace, toxic effects (experimental and epidemiological studies), community methods for monitoring, regulations, and guidelines.
