Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are generally a mixture of chemicals commonly used as refrigerants. They are used as propellants in aerosol sprays too. CFCs generally contain different substances, including fluorine, carbon, chlorine, and hydrogen.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are colorless and odorless, making them more challenging to detect. CFCs are generally quite volatile and start evaporating immediately when exposed to open air.

That is one of the main reasons why they can be inhaled so easily. Even though CFCs are considered non-toxic, exposure (commonly through inhalation) can result in respiratory issues and may even cause a person to lose consciousness.
