  "term": "Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), and any fluorocarbon except for controlled substances as defined at 40 CFR part 82, subpart A and substances with vapor pressures of less than 1 mm of Hg absolute at 25 degrees C. With these exceptions, “fluorinated GHG” includes but is not limited to any hydrofluorocarbon, any perfluorocarbon, any fully fluorinated linear, branched or cyclic alkane, ether, tertiary amine or aminoether, any perfluoropolyether, and any hydrofluoropolyether.\n\n2. one of the following sets of fluorinated GHGs: (1) Fully fluorinated GHGs; (2) Saturated hydrofluorocarbons with two or fewer carbon-hydrogen bonds; (3) Saturated hydrofluorocarbons with three or more carbon-hydrogen bonds; (4) Saturated hydrofluoroethers and hydrochlorofluoroethers with one carbon-hydrogen bond; (5) Saturated hydrofluoroethers and hydrochlorofluoroethers with two carbon-hydrogen bonds; (6) Saturated hydrofluoroethers and hydrochlorofluoroethers with three or more carbon-hydrogen bonds; (7) Saturated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs); (8) Fluorinated formates; (9) Cyclic forms of the following: unsaturated perfluorocarbons (PFCs), unsaturated HFCs, unsaturated CFCs, unsaturated hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), unsaturated bromofluorocarbons (BFCs), unsaturated bromochlorofluorocarbons (BCFCs), unsaturated hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), unsaturated hydrobromochlorofluorocarbons (HBCFCs), unsaturated halogenated ethers, and unsaturated halogenated esters; (10) Fluorinated acetates, carbonofluoridates, and fluorinated alcohols other than fluorotelomer alcohols; (11) Fluorinated aldehydes, fluorinated ketones and non-cyclic forms of the following: unsaturated PFCs, unsaturated HFCs, unsaturated CFCs, unsaturated HCFCs, unsaturated BFCs, unsaturated BCFCs, unsaturated HBFCs, unsaturated HBCFCs, unsaturated halogenated ethers, and unsaturated halogenated esters; (12) Fluorotelomer alcohols; (13) Fluorinated GHGs with carbon-iodine bonds; or (14) Remaining fluorinated GHGs.",
