Detailed explanation-1: -Chloro-fluoro-carbons or CFCs are well-known greenhouse gases which also cause global warming.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are fully or partly halogenated hydrocarbons that contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F), produced as volatile derivatives of methane, ethane, and propane. They are also commonly known by the DuPont brand name Freon.

Detailed explanation-3: -These data and the deaths of the workers described in this report demonstrate that exposure to CFC-113 is hazardous and can cause death by cardiac arrhythmia and asphyxiation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorofluorocarbons react with the ozone in the upper atmosphere and destroy the ozone layer, making the layer thinner and allowing ultraviolet (UV) radiation to pass through it and fall on the earth’s surface. This UV radiation can cause skin cancer and other ailments in humans and also affect plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Trichlorofluoromethane-a methane hydrocarbon with one-carbon compound and replacement of the hydrogens with three chlorine and one fluorine atom. Dichlorodifluoromethane-a colorless, slightly water-soluble, nonflammable gas. Dichlorotetrafluoroethane-a colorless, nearly odorless nonflammable gas. More items •03-Sept-2022
