Chlorinated hydrocarbons are organic molecules characterized by the presence of at least one chlorine atom bonded to a carbon atom. They are widely used industrial solvents and degreasing agents. They have a wide range of uses, from making cookware to creating industrial solvents. They are environmentally persistent and have contaminated the environment through leakage in storage tanks and irresponsible disposal practices.
