How to use "Chlorofluorocarbon" in context?
Chlorofluorocarbons, better known by their acronym CFCs, are ozone-depleting chemicals that have been used in air conditioning and refrigeration since the 1930s. They were initially popular because they were extremely efficient in blocking heat exchange between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. However, CFCs are also very dangerous because they can break down into chlorine and hydrofluoric acid, both of which are potent greenhouse gases.
The first round of international action to deal with CFCs was triggered in 1987 by the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic.
