Fluorinated gases are synthetic gases that contain fluorine and are used in various industrial applications. They are commonly found in products like refrigerants, aerosols, and insulating foams. While they are effective for their intended purposes, these gases can trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. There are several types of fluorinated gases, including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Although they are less abundant than carbon dioxide, their global warming potential is significantly higher, making their management and reduction important for environmental protection efforts.
