The 16 pages that link to Hydrofluorocarbon, each with the reason it gives.

• Montreal ProtocolRelated: Their climate impact prompted the Kigali Amendment’s phase-down.

• Ozone depletionCompared with: HFCs do not deplete ozone, though many have substantial greenhouse effects.

• Global warming potentialBroader topic: Many have high GWPs, motivating controls under the Kigali Amendment.

• ChlorofluorocarbonCompared with: HFCs replaced many CFCs without depleting ozone, though some strongly warm the climate.

• RefrigerantCompared with: HFCs avoid ozone depletion but many have high global-warming potential.

• Ozone holeCompared with: They replaced many ozone-depleting refrigerants but raise separate concerns because of their climate effects.

• Kigali AmendmentBroader topic: These compounds are the substances the amendment requires countries to phase down.

• HydrochlorofluorocarbonRelated: HFCs followed HCFCs as substitutes that do not deplete ozone, though many strongly warm the climate.

• Ozone-depleting substanceCompared with: Hydrofluorocarbons avoid direct ozone depletion, though many are potent greenhouse gases.

• Thomas Midgley Jr.Compared with: HFCs replaced many ozone-depleting CFCs, though some contribute strongly to climate warming.

• CyclopentaneCompared with: Cyclopentane can replace high-global-warming-potential hydrofluorocarbons in foam manufacture.

• 1,1,1-TrichloroethaneCompared with: Some fluorinated compounds replaced ozone-depleting solvents, though climate effects remain a concern.

• HalocarbonBroader topic: HFCs avoid direct ozone depletion by chlorine or bromine while many remain potent greenhouse gases.

• 1,1,1,2-TetrafluoroethaneNarrower topic: R-134a belongs to this family, which generally avoids stratospheric ozone depletion.

• ChlorodifluoromethaneCompared with: HFCs such as R-410A replaced HCFC-22 in many uses without directly depleting ozone.

• FluorocarbonBroader topic: HFCs replaced many ozone-depleting refrigerants, though some strongly warm the climate.
