SUMMARY
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and other alternatives in various applications due to their ozone-depleting properties. HFCs are less harmful to the ozone layer but still contribute to global warming. The discussion highlights the ongoing search for more environmentally friendly substitutes, including natural refrigerants like hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide. The transition away from CFCs is crucial for environmental sustainability and compliance with international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol.
