Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is an exogenous organohalogen compound with an average molecular weight of 153.82 g/mol. Carbon tetrachloride belongs to the halomethanes, a subclass of alkyl halides within the organic compounds. At room temperature, this compound exists as a solid. It is used as a refrigerant, an industrial solvent (PMC13367830 ), an industrial tracer (PMC1247611 ), and an industrial reagent (PMC8719404 ). Biologically, it functions as a toxin (PMC10065070 ) and a hepatotoxic agent.
The compound is released from 56 recorded sources, including household cleaning and consumer products, food processing and cookware, electrical and electronic equipment, aquatic systems and sediments, drinking water and water supply, and wastewater, sanitation and biosolids. Recorded exposure routes include touch, oral, and inhalation (PMC12124805 ). Health effects associated with the compound include inflammation (PMC12618795 ), liver inflammation (PMC5412192 , PMC6746334 ), hypoglycemia (PMC6961881 ), low birth weight (PMC7103533 ), and necrosis (PMC12124805 , PMC5241977 ), though it has a therapeutic effect on cancer (PMC5956911 ).
Carbon tetrachloride interacts with 33 recorded protein targets. It inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase and Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase, including ATP2C1, ATP2A1, ATP2A2, and FXYD2, leading to intracellular free calcium ion accumulation and central nervous system stimuli propagation. It antagonizes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at GABA-A receptors, including GABRA1, GABRA2, GABRA3, and GABRA4, causing central nervous system hyperexcitability. Binding to ESR1 and ESR2 causes endocrine disruption in humans. Additionally, metabolism by CYP2E1 may destroy the enzyme, and reactive metabolites may bind to DNA, lipids, and nuclear proteins.

Unmetabolized carbon tetrachloride, depresses the central nervous system. All other toxic effects of carbon tetrachloride are related to its biotransformation via cytochrome P-450 enzymes, specifically CYP2E1. Metabolism of carbon tetrachloride by CYP2E1 may result in the destruction of the enzyme during the metabolic process, either by direct attack of radicals on the cytochrome(s) or highly localized lipid peroxidation resulting in detachment of P-450 proteins from the microsomal membranes. Reactive metabolites of carbon tetrachloride causes hepatic damage via haloalkylation of cellular macromolecules and lipid peroxidation. Carbon tetrachloride also perturbs the intracellular calcium homeostasis. Increased cytosolic levels of calcium may result from an influx of extracellular calcium caused by plasma membrane damage and decreased intracellular calcium sequestering. Higher levels of calcium activate enzymes such as proteases, which hydrolyze proteins in neighboring cells, leading to a progression of the lesion. Carbon tetrachloride's carcinogenicity is likely the result of certain reactive metabolites that bind to nuclear proteins, lipids, and DNA. (8, 5)
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss, and a change in bowel movements. There are over 100 types of cancers affect humans. The risk of developing certain cancers can be reduced by not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, not drinking too much alcohol, eating plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, vaccination against certain infectious diseases, not eating too much processed and red meat and avoiding too much sunlight exposure. Cancer is often treated with some combination of radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy and targeted therapy. The majority of cancers, some 90–95% of cases, are due to genetic mutations from environmental and lifestyle factors. The remaining 5–10% are due to inherited genetics.

Low birthweight is when a baby is born weighing less than 2500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces). Some low-birthweight babies are healthy, but others have serious health problems that need treatment. Premature birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and fetal growth restriction are the most common causes of low birthweight. babies with low birth weight look much smaller than babies of normal birth weight.
