Sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons; whether or not halogenated

In plain English

This category covers chemical compounds made from hydrocarbons that have been modified with sulpho, nitro, or nitroso groups, and these items may also contain halogens. The specific types are separated based on which chemical groups are present, such as those containing only sulpho groups or those containing only nitro or nitroso groups. Certain entries specifically identify perfluorooctane sulphonic acid and its various salts, along with perfluorooctane sulphonyl fluoride. Other distinct items include trichloronitromethane, while any other derivatives not listed elsewhere fall into the final remaining group.
