👉 Chloroform (or chlorodifluorophosphate) is a colorless, odorless liquid that is produced by the decomposition of methane. It is often used as an ingredient in various applications such as cleaning agents and disinfectants. In contrast to other chlorinated compounds, chloroform does not undergo oxidation or degradation during normal use. It can be found naturally in some marine environments, but it was first synthesized in 1943 by the US company Cheminex
