Layman's explanation:
Chloromethane is a natural organochlorine that was discovered by 1968. It is a clear, colorless gas that is heavier than air and extremely flammable. Chloromethane also has a faint sweet odor that is noticeable only at dangerously high levels. It was used as a refrigerant in the past. Today, chloromethane is used to make other substances: primary silicones and agricultural chemicals, for example. It has also been used as a pesticide and a fumigant.
