Hazard Predictions

Chloroform produces very toxic phosgene and Cl2 gases if oxidized by strong oxidants (Holbrook, M.T. 2003. Chloroform. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).

CCl4 can explode on contact with calcium hypochlorite (National Fire Protection Association. 1975. Publication 491M. pp. 84).

Fluorine reacts explosively with halocarbons, including carbon tetrachloride and chloroform (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 198).

CCl4 forms explosive mixtures with ClF3 at low temperatures (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 156).

Dichloromethane can form an explosive mixture with N2O5 (Dubar, J. et al. 1968. Compt. Rend. (Series C) 266:1114).

N2O4 forms shock-sensitive explosive mixtures with halocarbons, including dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene (Turley, R.E. 1963. Chemical and Engineering News 42(47):53).
