Perfluorocarbons

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007851

Synthetic organic compounds composed solely of carbon and fluorine atoms, known for their extreme stability and long atmospheric lifetimes. These potent greenhouse gases have a high global warming potential, contributing significantly to radiative forcing despite their low atmospheric concentrations. They are regulated under international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol.
