Abstract
The term fluorocarbons is defined here as carbon compounds containing fluorine. If they contain only fluorine, they are sometimes referred to as FCs. The compounds may also contain chlorine, bromine, or hydrogen. Other descriptive names include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), fluorinated compounds, and halogenated hydrocarbons. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are compounds in this family which contain hydrogen. Unless otherwise specified, the term fluorocarbons in this monograph applies to FCs, CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs.
