Definition von chlorofluorocarbon im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: Any of a class of organic compounds in which the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon are replaced with those of chlorine and fluorine; formerly used as refrigerants and aerosol can propellants but withdrawn due to causing damage to the ozone layer; An organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane; Chlorofluorocarbons are the same as CFCs. a CFC (chloro- (from chloros; CHLORINE) + fluorocarbon). Any of several organic compounds containing carbon, fluorine, chlorine, and hydrogen. A number of different CFCs have been made and sold under the trade name Freon. Developed in the 1930s, these halogenated hydrocarbons were widely used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants and in other applications because they are nontoxic and nonflammable and readily evaporate and condense. However, CFCs released into the atmosphere rise into the stratosphere, where solar radiation breaks them down; the chlorine released reacts with ozone, depleting the ozone layer. In 1992 most developed countries agreed to end CFC production by 1996; 1997 production, weighted according to the ozone depletion potential of each CFC, was 10% of peak (1988) production; {i} type of greenhouse gas, one of the gases thought to be responsible for the hole in the ozone layer, CFC (Ecology); a fluorocarbon with chlorine; formerly used as a refrigerant and as a propellant in aerosol cans; "the chlorine in CFCs causes depletion of atmospheric ozone; cfc
