Chlorinated Solvent - An organic solvent containing chlorine atoms, e.g., methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloromethane, used in aerosol spray containers and in highway paint.

 


Chlorinated solvent: An organic solvent containing chlorine atoms that is often used as aerosol spray container, in highway paint, and dry cleaning fluids.

Chlorinated Solvents: Organic solvents containing chlorine atoms. Examples include methylene chloride, perchloroethylene and 1,1,1 trichloroethylene used as cleaning agents.

Chlorinated Solvent
An organic hydrocarbon in which chlorine atoms substitute for one or more hydrogen atoms in the compound's structure, e.g., methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloromethane.

Chlorinated Hydrocarbon An organic compound or chlorinated solvent containing at least one bonded chlorine atom. PVC, chloroform, certain pesticides and insulators are made up of chlorinated hydrocarbons.

For example, hydrocarbon spills (specifically, petrol spills) or certain chlorinated solvents may contaminate groundwater in the subsurface and injecting the appropriate organisms, in conjunction with electron acceptor or electron donor amendment, ...

Petroleum products such as kerosene, gasoline and mineral spirits contain VOCs. Chlorinated solvents such as those used by dry cleaners or contained in paint strippers are also VOCs. See "organic" and "volatile".

Almost every stage of this PVC life-cycle can create pollution problems, for example, environmental contamination with mercury, chlorinated solvents and dioxins. In terms of health, PVC dust can damage the lungs of workers.

which the degradation of the second compound (the secondary substrate) depends on the presence of the first compound (the primary substrate). For example, in the process of degrading methane, some bacteria can degrade hazardous chlorinated solvents ...

Among them are DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordane, lindane, endrin, Mirex, hexachloride, and toxaphene. Other examples include TCE, used as an industrial solvent. 2. Any chlorinated organic compounds including chlorinated solvents such as ...
