Abstract
An up-to-date review and criticism of reports on the decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbons led to the conclusion that temperature and metal surface were prime factors in the production of phosgene, hydrogen chloride, chlorine and other decomposition products. Carbon tectrachloride generally produced higher concentrations of phosgene than did other chlorinated hydrocarbons. Humidity influenced decomposition of the phosgene formed, but the degree was only slight at low concentrations. Flames caused production of phosgene but the reports showed great variance presumably due to the complexities of the nature of contact of the chlorinated hydrocarbons with flame.
