Deutsch: Bromid / Español: Bromuro / Português: Brometo / Français: Bromure / Italiano: Bromuro
Bromide in the environment context refers to the anion, Br⁻, and any of its salts, which are widely distributed in nature, particularly in seawater, brine pools, and salt lakes. Bromides are of environmental interest due to their natural occurrence, industrial uses, and role in the formation of disinfection by-products in water treatment processes. While bromide ions themselves are relatively benign, their reactions with other elements and compounds, especially during water disinfection, can produce compounds with significant health and environmental impacts.
Deutsch: Brom / Español: Bromo / Português: Bromo / Français: Brome / Italiano: Bromo
Bromine in the environment context refers to a chemical element with the symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is a halogen, found in the environment primarily in the form of bromide ions in sea water, salt lakes, and underground brines. Bromine is notable for its role in various environmental and industrial processes, as well as for its environmental impacts, particularly in Relation to the ozone layer and as a Component of certain pollutants.
Deutsch: Bromfluorkohlenwasserstoff / Español: Bromofluorocarbono / Português: Bromofluorcarbono / Français: Bromofluorocarbone / Italiano: Bromofluorocarburo
In the environment context, "Bromofluorocarbon" refers to a group of organic compounds that contain bromine, fluorine, and carbon. These synthetic chemicals are related to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), known for their detrimental effects on the ozone layer and their potential as greenhouse gases. Bromofluorocarbons have been used in a variety of applications, including solvents, fire retardants, and in refrigeration systems. However, due to their environmental impact, particularly their ability to deplete the ozone layer and contribute to global warming, the production and use of bromofluorocarbons have been significantly restricted under international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol.
