chloromethane
Simplest chlorinated alkane
Chloromethane is a colorless, flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor, used as a refrigerant, solvent, and in chemical manufacturing.
Also called methyl chloride.
It occurs naturally in small amounts but is primarily produced industrially.
Exposure can affect the nervous system: Workers were monitored for chloromethane levels in the plant.
