Description

Chloroform is used mainly as a raw material in the production of hydrochlorofluorocarbon**2, which will be phased out in the European Union by ***5. Chloroform is used in other applications including in the pharmaceutical industry (for example in the extraction of penicillin and other antibiotics). It is also used as a degreasing agent and as a chemical intermediate in the production of dyes, pesticides and other substances. Chloroform is produced in the European Union at a yearly volume of **2.**0 tons (in ***2). Of this an estimated ***0 tons are released into the environment (***0 tons by evaporation to the atmosphere and ***0 tons in waste waters), both from production sites and from use products derived from it. It has been suggested that chloroform might be released through natural processes, although this still remains to be proven[2]. Chloroform is a volatile substance causing it to evaporate rapidly into the atmosphere. There it is quite stable with a half-life of up to **0 days. It&#**9;s even more stable in water bodies, where there is little abiotic degradation and also not much biodegradation. Chloroform has a moderate water solubility of 8 g/l and no high tendency towards adsorption to soils or sediments[2].
