2 Evaluation Criteria

2.4.3 Halogenated VOCs


An important consideration when evaluating a technology is whether the analyte is halogenated or non-halogenated. A halogenated organic compound contains a molecule of chlorine, bromine, iodine, and/or fluorine. The nature of the halogen bond and the halogen itself can significantly affect performance of a technology or require more extensive analysis than for non-halogenated compounds.

The following is a list of common halogenated VOCs:

Bromodichloromethane Bromoform
Bromomethane Carbon tetrachloride
Chlorodibromomethane Chloroethane
Chloroform Chloromethane
Chloropropane Cis-1,2-dichloroethylene
Cis-1,3-dichloropropene Dibromomethane
1,1-Dichloroethane 1,2-Dichloroethane
1,2-Dichloroethene Trichloroethylene (TCE)
1,2,2-trifluoroethane (Freon 113) 1,1-Dichloroethylene
Dichloromethane 1,2-Dichloropropane
Ethylene dibromide Fluorotrichloromethane (Freon 11)
Hexachloroethane Methylene chloride
Monochlorobenzene 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane
Tetrachloroethylene or Perchloroethylene(PCE) 1,2-Trans-dichloroethylene
Trans-1,3-dichloropropene 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
1,1,2-Trichloroethane Vinyl chloride
