1. Freon

   Freon ( FREE-on) is a registered trademark of the Chemours Company and generic descriptor for a number of halocarbon products. They are stable, nonflammable, low toxicity gases or liquids which have generally been used as refrigerants and as aerosol propellants. These include the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that cause ozone depletion and HCFCs (such as chlorodifluoromethane). Not all refrigerants of this type are labelled as "Freon" since Freon is a brand name for the refrigerants R-12, R-13B1, R-22, R-410A, R-502, and R-503 manufactured by The Chemours Company. Freon emits a strong chemical smell similar to acetone, a nail polish remover component.

1. freon

   Freon is a brand name for a group of chemical compounds known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and related chemicals, which are commonly used as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and in air conditioning systems. These are colorless, odorless, nonflammable, and non-corrosive gases or liquids. The use of Freon has decreased significantly due to its environmental impact, particularly its role in the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer.
