CFC

Chlorofluorocarbons, which were used in air conditioners, refrigerators, heat pumps, and so forth, and which helped deplete the ozone layer.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been widely used as refrigerants. The manufacture and use of such compounds has been phased out and has been replaced with zero Ozone depleting products such as hydrofl [..]

These are chemical compounds that are used as aerosol propellants, solvents and refrigerants. CFCs contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer and to the build-up of greenhouse gases.

synthetic products, which do not occur naturally and contain chlorine and fluorine; commonly used in various industrial processes and as refrigerants and, prior to 1990, as a propellant gas for sprays; deplete ozone in the stratosphere and are powerful greenhouse gases.

Chlorofluorocarbons

These and some other related chemicals have been used in great quantities in industry for refrigeration and air conditioning. When released into the air, they rise into the upper atmosphere and reduce the protective ozone layer.

Short for ‘chloroflurocarbons’, which are chemicals used in manufacturing and, in the past, in aerosol cans and refrigerators, which can damage the ozone layer.

Any of a number of substances consisting of chlorine, fluorine and carbon. CFCs are used for refrigeration, foam packaging, solvents and propellants. They are proven to cause depletion of the atmosphere's ozone layer.

These chemicals and some related chemicals have been used in great quantities in industry, for refrigeration and air conditioning, and in consumer products. CFCs and their relatives, when released into the air, rise into the stratosphere, a layer of the atmosphere high above the Earth. In the stratosphere, CFCs and their relatives take part in chem [..]
