Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is a chemical compound that contains chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. It is also referred to as dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12), and it is one of the chlorofluorocarbon compounds that were previously used as refrigerants and solvents in various applications.
However, it was discovered that CFCs deplete the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere, leading to negative effects on the environment and human health. Based on the Montreal Protocol in 1987, the use of CFCs has been gradually phased out in many countries and replaced with alternative substances that have a lesser impact on the ozone layer.
Today, chlorofluorocarbons are less commonly used in industrial applications, and non-ozone-depleting alternatives have been developed for cooling and cleaning purposes. There are legislative measures and international agreements that regulate the use of chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting substances, with the aim of preserving the environment and mitigating climate change.
