halogenated
Contains reactive elements
Halogenated describes a chemical compound that has had halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) added to its molecular structure.
The term appears in chemistry, environmental science, and industrial contexts: halogenated solvents, halogenated flame retardants.
Many halogenated compounds are persistent pollutants—CFCs that damage the ozone layer are halogenated hydrocarbons.
