James Bowen, MD and researcher, reports that Splenda is a chlorocarbon
(a combination of sugar and chlorine).
This will provide the global market with a high-quality supply of the chlorocarbons
necessary to meet the growing demand for next-generation, climate-friendly refrigerants.
However, under pressure to regulate the use of chlorocarbons
, 1-BP has been used as a surrogate, which is encouraged by the lack of measures to define the exposure limits.
Waste streams that were tested contained at various times a variety of chlorinated materials, for example, vinyl, mixed plastics, salts (chloride) and chlorocarbons
, resulting in chlorine feed concentrations ranging from 0.
and Chlorohydrocarbons-Toxic Aromatics.
