Preferred term

chlorofluorocarbons  

Definition

  • Chlorofluorocarbons (cfcs or chlorofluormethanes) are a group of chemicals containing carbon, fluorine, and chlorine atoms. They were used extensively throughout the 20th century for various applications because of their general nontoxicity and stable chemical properties. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)]
