9780850781199Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Chloroform, also known as trichloromethane, is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell that was once widely used as an anesthetic. Today, it is mainly used as a solvent in industrial settings, such as in the production of other chemicals, and can also be found in some pesticides and as a byproduct of water disinfection. The European Union's REACH regulation lists chloroform as a Substance of Very High Concern because it is classified as a carcinogen and toxic for reproduction. This means that, based on scientific evidence, it may cause cancer and harm fertility or unborn children. Because of these risks, its use is restricted under REACH Annex XVII to protect people and the environment. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.

Chloroform is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell, also known as trichloromethane. It is used in some industrial processes, as a solvent, and historically in certain products like refrigerants and cough medicines. California’s Proposition 65 lists chloroform because it can cause cancer. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) classifies it as a carcinogen, meaning long-term exposure may increase cancer risk. You might encounter chloroform in contaminated drinking water or air near industrial sites. It is regulated to limit exposure and protect public health.

Chloroform, also known as trichloromethane, is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell that was once widely used as an anesthetic. Today, it is mainly used to make other chemicals, such as refrigerants, and can be found in small amounts in drinking water as a byproduct of chlorination. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies chloroform as Group 2B, meaning it is possibly carcinogenic to humans. This classification is based on limited evidence from animal studies and insufficient evidence from human studies. Because of this, regulatory agencies monitor and limit chloroform levels in drinking water and consumer products to reduce potential long-term health risks.

Chloroform is a chemical that was once used as an anesthetic but is now strictly controlled because of safety concerns. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell, and it can be found in some industrial processes, laboratory work, or as a byproduct in water disinfection. Under EU REACH Annex XVII, chloroform is restricted because it is classified as a substance that may cause cancer and harm to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) lists it as a substance that cannot be placed on the market or used in products meant for the general public, such as in cosmetics or household cleaners, unless in very low concentrations. This restriction helps protect people from unnecessary risks. For more details, see the ECHA restriction list at https://echa.europa.eu/substances-restricted-under-reach.

Chloroform is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell, once used as an anesthetic but now strictly regulated because of safety concerns. You might find it in very small amounts as a byproduct in some industrial processes, but it is banned from being added to any cosmetic products sold in the European Union. The EU Cosmetics Regulation lists chloroform in Annex II as a prohibited substance, meaning it cannot be an ingredient in things like lotions, soaps, or makeup. This ban exists because chloroform can be harmful if absorbed through the skin or inhaled, and it is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans). Long-term exposure may also affect the liver and kidneys. The EU's strict rule helps protect consumers from unnecessary chemical risks in everyday products.
