Fluorocarbons
Carbon-fluorine compounds that often contain other elements such as hydrogen, chlorine, or bromine. Common fluorocarbons include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs). See chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, ozone depleting substance. (source: EPA) Background from Wikipedia Some important fluorocarbons. A: fluoromethane B: isoflurane C: a CFC D: an HFC E: triflic acid F: Teflon G: PFOS H: fluorouracil I: Prozac Fluorocarbons are chemical compounds that contain carbon-fluorine bonds. The relatively low reactivity and high polarity of the carbon-fluorine bond imparts unique characteristics to fluorocarbons. Fluorocarbons tend to be only slowly broken down in the environment and therefore many are considered persistent organic pollutants. Many commercially useful fluorocarbons also contain hydrogen, chlorine, or bromine.
