bromoform


Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

bromoform

A yellowish to colourless liquid with a pleasant odour and sweet taste, produced by action of bromine and caustic potash on wood spirit, alcohol or acetone; it is functionally similar to chloroform in effects. It is currently used as a solvent and flame retardant. 

Toxicology
Mucocutaneous and upper respiratory tract irritation, hepatotoxic, CNS toxicity.
