Chlorofluorocarbons are man made chemicals, 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" It is used all over mostly in china ,India, Korea and Spain but it is also used in other locations including the US. This product is being seen less and less a lot of the company’s that used to use it are stopping like Windex, and some refrigerators

Abstract Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) are compounds containing chlorine fluorine and carbon only, that is they contain no hydrogen. They were formerly used widely in industry, for example as refrigerants, propellants, and cleaning solvents. CFCs are extremely environment not only because they contribute to global warming, but also because chlorine and bromine atoms have the ability to destroy the ozone layer. Thankfully the Chlorofluorocarbons are banned. Unfortunately this so called ban is not fully and truly a ban more like a recommendation. Major companies are advised and recommended not to use them but it is still being used. We need to cut out uses in this chemical completely and start using PhostrEx or other alternative chemicals. They only issue is that the alternatives may not be as effective or they may cost more if they do indeed work better and with today’s economy its hard to say buy the better stuff, however in this case you should. Spend more money or loss earth your decision.

Summary .CFCs will destroy the ozone layer and melt the icecaps. It is very important to stop the production of this dangerous chemical. The only thing its good for is in aerosol cans and refrigerators .its a flame retardant. but there are alternatives. We should look into them more and take the time and money to use them Information Human Health, Economic Crisis, Environmental, Human Health [] Laws of CFC []
