hydrofluorcarboner
Hydrofluorocarbons, often abbreviated as HFCs, are a group of organic compounds that contain hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon atoms. They are synthesized chemicals and do not occur naturally. HFCs were developed as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) due to concerns about ozone depletion caused by those earlier compounds.
Unlike CFCs and HCFCs, HFCs do not contain chlorine or bromine atoms, and therefore do not contribute
HFCs are commonly used as refrigerants in air conditioning systems and refrigerators. They are also utilized
However, while HFCs do not harm the ozone layer, they are potent greenhouse gases. This means they
Due to their significant contribution to climate change, there is a global effort to phase down the
