perfluorocarbons

• “But researchers have recently shown that by ventilating a preemie with fluids called perfluorocarbons, they can supply oxygen to the tissues without damaging the lungs.”

  Newsweek: Replacement Parts

• “Some GHGs, such as perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride, have estimated lifetimes of many thousands of years in the atmosphere.”

  Global Environment Outlook (GEO-4)~ Chapter 2

• “Fluorinated gases (or High Global Warming Potential gases): This group of gases, which includes hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, are “synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes.””

  Prevention of Global Warming: Understanding The Main Causes

• “Blackburn's bill, H.R. 97, states: "The term 'air pollutant' shall not include carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarb ons, perfluorocarbons, or sulfur hexafluoride.”

  The Huffington Post: Michael Brune: Scary Myths and Scarier Realities

• “In addition to carbon dioxide, emissions of methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride would count toward a facility's greenhouse gas emissions.”

  The Washington Post: EPA finalizing emissions rule that would lessen impact on small businesses

• “This process also breaks off bits of the fluorine from the cryolite, which escapes the smelter in the form of perfluorocarbons PFCs—these are the most noxious of greenhouse gases, trapping thousands of times more heat than carbon dioxide.”

  Simon & Schuster: THE STORY OF STUFF

• “Besides coal- and gas-fired power plants, other industries that could have been affected are chip makers, which use perfluorocarbons, or pfcs, in their industrial processes.”

  The Wall Street Journal: EPA Puts Some Greenhouse-Gas Rules on Hold

• “After a scientific analysis of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride, the EPA then made an extraordinary decision in April to propose a ruling to recognize greenhouse gases as a cause of climate change and an accountable threat to public welfare.”

  Jeff Biggers: Obama's First 100 Days of Coal: A Few Honest Words, Please

• “The bill gives EPA authority to set up a similar system for perfluorocarbons (PFCs).”

  David Doniger: Analysis of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act

• “The other five gases are methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.”
