Chloroform is mostly oxidized. Chloroform formation through oxidation of soil organic matter is unlikely, and is impossible if there is no chlorine in the system. Chloroform is a disinfection byproduct formed through the oxidation of organic matter in water by using relatively high concentrations of chlorine as the oxidant.
