organochlorine compound
Let an agent explain organochlorine compounds as a class and their chemistry, describe uses and environmental and health concerns with attribution, relay regulation and safe handling guidance, and support chemistry learning.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
An organic compound containing at least one chlorine atom bonded to carbon, a broad class including solvents such as dichloromethane, monomers such as vinyl chloride and chlorotrifluoroethene, refrigerants and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, pesticides such as DDT, polychlorinated biphenyls and natural organochlorines produced by organisms; organochlorines are widely used in industry and medicine, while many are persistent pollutants regulated under environmental and chemical safety law.
Why it exists Filled
