What Does CHC Stand For?

CHC stands for Chlorinated Hydrocarbon

CHC, or Chlorinated Hydrocarbon, refers to a class of chemical compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. These compounds are typically used in industrial applications, such as solvents, refrigerants, and pesticides, due to their unique chemical properties. However, many chlorinated hydrocarbons are known to be environmentally persistent and may pose health risks to humans and wildlife, leading to regulatory scrutiny and efforts to reduce their use and promote safer alternatives.
