Carbon tetrachloride was widely used as a raw material in many industrial uses, including the production of [[Chlorofluorocarbon]]s (CFCs), and as a [[solvent]]. Its solvent use largely ended when it was discovered to be [[carcinogen]]ic. It is also used as a [[catalyst]] to deliver chlorine [[ion]]s to certain processes. It is suspected of depleting the [[ozone layer]]. | Carbon tetrachloride was widely used as a raw material in many industrial uses, including the production of [[Chlorofluorocarbon]]s (CFCs), and as a [[solvent]].
