halogenatedorganohalogen
Halogenated organohalogens are a broad class of organic compounds in which carbon-containing frameworks bear halogen substituents, typically fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. They often include multiple halogen atoms, and in some descriptions are labeled as polyhalogenated organohalogens when several halogens are present.
Classification and structure are central to their chemistry. They can be grouped by the dominant halogen (organofluorines,
Occurrence and production vary. Some halogenated organohalogens occur naturally in trace amounts, produced by marine organisms
Properties and environmental behavior are largely governed by the halogen content. Many are highly stable and
Impact and regulation are prominent in policy and risk assessment. A number of halogenated organohalogens are
