Trichloroethane Poisoning Profile

Trichloroethane Exposure tests can be accomplished through measurement of either 1.1.1- Trichloroethane, Trichloroethanol or Trichloroaceticacid. Trichloroethane (methyl chloroform) toxicity is characterized by anesthetic effects, such as lightheadedness and loss of coordination. Liver and kidney damage may be precipitated by an increase in the intensity of exposure. Trichloroethane (methyl chloroform) functions as a degreaser, dry cleaning agent, and solvent in paints, glues, and aerosols. Trichloroethane can also be found in some household products (eg, degreasers, glues, etc).
