| trichloroethane | CH3CCl3; 1,1,1-Trichloroethane;an industrial solvent with pronounced inhalation anaesthetic activity. Synonym: methylchloroform. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trichloroethanes | Chlorinated ethanes which are used extensively as industrial solvents. They have been utilised in numerous home-use products including spot remover preparations and inhalant decongestant sprays. These compounds cause central nervous system and cardiovascular depression and are hepatotoxic. Include 1,1,1- and 1,1,2-isomers. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trichloroethanol | CCl3CH2OH; 2,2,2-Trichloroethanol;a hypnotic and sedative; as a metabolite of chloral hydrate, it contributes to the depressant activity of chloral hydrate. Synonym: trichloroethyl alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trichloroethene | <chemical> A highly volatile inhalation anaesthetic used mainly in short surgical procedures where light anaesthesia with good analgesia is required. It is also used as an industrial solvent. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of the vapor can lead to cardiotoxicity and neurological impairment. Pharmacological action: anaesthetics, inhalation, solvents. Chemical name: Ethene, trichloro- (12 Dec 1998) |
| trichloroethyl alcohol | CCl3CH2OH; 2,2,2-Trichloroethanol;a hypnotic and sedative; as a metabolite of chloral hydrate, it contributes to the depressant activity of chloral hydrate. Synonym: trichloroethyl alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
