Trifluoroiodomethane (CED0020473)

Trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) is an organic compound with an average molecular weight of 195.91 g/mol. Trifluoroiodomethane belongs to the halomethanes, a subclass of alkyl halides within the organic compounds. This compound is found in or released from 25 recorded sources. These sources include aquatic systems and sediments, such as seawater, freshwater, groundwater, and surface water, as well as drinking water and water supply, including bottled, desalinated, tap, and drinking water. Other sources include wastewater, sanitation and biosolids, specifically wastewater, unspecified, industrial wastewater, mine wastewater, and wastewater treatment effluent. It is also associated with marine, shipping and aquaculture, including bilge water and ballast water; appliances, HVAC and refrigerants, such as water heaters and water coolers; and electrical and electronic equipment, including coils, antennas, amplifiers, electric switches, discharge lamps, and one more. Three additional sectors are recorded. Recorded exposure routes for trifluoroiodomethane include touch, oral, and inhalation. Literature support exists for the inhalation exposure route (PMC11368000).
