Greenhouse gas HFC-23: Reducing emissions is a

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are powerful greenhouse gases. The most powerful of these compounds is trifluoromethane, also known as HFC-23. One kilogram of HFC-23 in the atmosphere contributes as much to the greenhouse effect as 12,000 kilograms of CO₂. It takes around 200 years for the gas to decay in the atmosphere. For this reason, more than […]
