Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are commonly used as substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. HFCs are considered more environmentally friendly because they don't deplete the ozone layer like CFCs, although they still contribute to global warming. As an alternative, natural refrigerants such as hydrocarbons (propane, isobutane) or carbon dioxide are being used as they have lower global warming potential and zero ozone depletion potential.

What are some examples of investigatory projects in biology that are environment friendly?
Think of an alternative for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in sprays and aerosols so that it cannot be harmful to the environment. I recommend you to use organic materials or any possible and available plant extracts which will serve as a CFC substitute.
Which of these is a flammable refrigerant unacceptable under SNAP as a substitute for CFC-12?
Refrigerant R-290, which is propane, is a flammable refrigerant unacceptable under SNAP as a substitute for CFC-12 due to its safety concerns related to flammability.
When EPA determines that venting substitute refrigerants does not pose a threat to the environment it will be illegal to vent substitutes for CFC and HCFC refrigerants after?
When the EPA determines that venting substitute refrigerants does not pose a threat to the environment, it will be illegal to vent substitutes for CFC and HCFC refrigerants after a specified date set by the agency. This regulation is part of efforts to phase out ozone-depleting substances and mitigate climate change impacts. The exact date for this prohibition would be outlined in the EPA's final ruling or guidelines.
Why people should use CFC free spray?
Simple answer: it is believed CFC destroys the ozone layer in the atmosphere which creates problems with the environment we all live in.
What are the cfc free inhalers?
CFC stands for chlorofluorocarbon, which is a harmful greenhouse gas that depletes the ozone layer. CFC-free inhalers are inhalers that do not contain this harmful gas and are considered more environmentally friendly. These inhalers use different propellants, such as HFA (hydrofluoroalkane), to deliver medication.
How can man keep his environment ozone friendly?
Man can keep environment ozone friendly. It is by curbing the use of CFC's.
What are the substitute for chlorofloro carbon which is responsible for ozone depletion?
There is a substitute for CFC's in market. It is called HCFC's.

What does the air conditioning do to the environment?
Older units used Ozone depleting refrigerants, which had chloro floro carbons. (CFC) New units now have Ozone friendly refrigerants, which are hydro floro carbons. (HFC)
What can technicians do to be ozone friendly?
Technicians can do various things. They can avoid things which use CFC's.
