  "definitions": [
    "A compound consisting of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a class of replacements for chlorofluorocarbons. Because they do not contain chlorine or bromine, they do not deplete the ozone layer. All HFCs have an ozone depletion potential of 0. Some HFCs have high global warming potentials.",
    "1. Man-made compounds containing hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon, many of which have been developed as alternatives to ozone-depleting substances for industrial, commercial, and consumer products, that have a range of global warming potentials. HFCs do not have the potential to destroy stratospheric ozone, but they are still powerful greenhouse gases.\n\n2. Compounds containing only hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon atoms. They were introduced as alternatives to ozone depleting substances in serving many industrial, commercial, and personal needs. HFCs are emitted as by-products of industrial processes and are also used in manufacturing. They do not significantly deplete the stratospheric ozone layer, but they are powerful greenhouse gases with global warming potentials ranging from 140 (HFC-152a) to 11,700 (HFC-23).\n\n3. A compound consisting of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a class of replacements for chlorofluorocarbons. Because they do not contain chlorine or bromine, they do not deplete the ozone layer. All HFCs have an ozone depletion potential of 0. Some HFCs have high global warming potentials.\n\n4. Class of GHGs consisting of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon.\n\n5. Compound consisting of hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a class of replacements for chlorofluorocarbons. Because they do not contain chlorine or bromine, they do not deplete the ozone layer. All HFCs have an ozone depletion potential of 0. Some HFCs have high global warming potentials."
