Preferred term

sulfur hexafluoride  

Definition

  • Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is the most powerful of all the greenhouse gases recognized by the Kyoto Protocol and evaluated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Although its concentration in the atmosphere is low, the combination of a high global warming potential and a very long lifetime make emissions of SF6 a considerable concern.
