Albuterol inhalers used to be powered by CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). Because of the Montreal Protocol to phase out the use and production of CFCs, since 2008 all Albuterol inhalers are powered by hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs).
CFC contains carbon, hydrogen, chlorine or fluorine.
No, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) is not a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC). MEK is a solvent commonly used in industrial applications such as paint and coatings. CFCs are a class of compounds that contain chlorine, fluorine, and carbon atoms, which have been largely phased out due to their harmful effects on the ozone layer.
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane and ethane. They were commonly used as refrigerants, and for propellants for aerosol sprays, though they have been mostly phased out due to the fact that they cause ozone depletion.
CFC's cause hole in ozone. They react with ozone and deplete it.
CFC is an abbreviation for the class of chemical compounds known as Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.
R 500
R-22 is the refrigerant that contains CFC (chlorofluorocarbon). R-134a does not contain CFCs but is considered an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant. R-500 contains a mixture of CFC-12 and CFC-22. R-123 is a halocarbon refrigerant but does not contain CFCs specifically.
Yes, it is. It contains CFC's.
The propellant for inhalers is changing and the old CFC propellant ones cannot be sold after December 31, 2008. Probably you will still be taking the same drug, just the delivery system will change. The jury is still out on pros and cons of albuterol during pregnancy.
To determine how many inhalation doses can be delivered from a 20mg Albuterol inhaler with each dose containing 90mcg, first convert 20mg to micrograms: 20mg is equal to 20,000mcg. Then, divide the total amount of Albuterol by the dosage per inhalation: 20,000mcg ÷ 90mcg/dose = approximately 222.22 doses. Therefore, the inhaler can deliver about 222 doses.
CFC stands for 'Congregatio Fratrum Christianorum' which is Latin for 'Congregation of Christian Brothers.'
