Metabolite Identification
Common NameCarbon tetrachloride
DescriptionCarbon tetrachloride, also known as kohlenstofftetrachlorid or tetrachloromethane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as halomethanes. These are organic compounds in which at least one of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms. Carbon tetrachloride is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Carbon tetrachloride.
