Halogenated extinguishing agents are hydrocarbons in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by atoms from the halogen series: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine ... The halogenated extinguishing agents are currently known simply as halons and the halon system for naming the halogenated hydrocarbons was devised by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 2, record 1, English, - halogen%20extinguisher

Vaporizing Liquids. Carbon tetrachloride ... was one of the first (1908) ... chemicals used in portable fire extinguishers. It was subsequently found, however, that its vapors were quite toxic ... In the early 1950s ... a number of federal agencies banned vaporizing liquid extinguishers because they were poisonous ... Liquified Gases. Although vaporizing liquids proved unacceptable, less toxic halogenated hydrocarbon chemicals found use in the form of liquefied gases. Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301) was first introduced in 1954 ... A low-pressure liquefied gas extinguisher using bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211) became available in 1973. 2, record 1, English, - halogen%20extinguisher
