What Does VHH Stand For?

VHH stands for Volatile Halogenated Hydrocarbons

VHH, or Volatile Halogenated Hydrocarbons, refers to a class of organic compounds that contain halogen atoms, such as chlorine, bromine, or fluorine, bonded to carbon. These compounds are characterized by their volatility, meaning they readily evaporate into the atmosphere. VHHs are commonly used in various industrial applications, including solvents, refrigerants, and chemical intermediates. Due to their potential environmental and health impacts, such as ozone depletion and toxicity, the use and regulation of volatile halogenated hydrocarbons are closely monitored.
