CFCs and especially carbon dioxide with gay abandon for a century or more.
Polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and DDT are also organochlorine compounds which, although banned or discredited, are still evident in the environment.
Among other projects, he played a crucial role in developing test systems for space suits for NASA and a compressor that hindered the release of CFCs.
CFCs are a smuggler's dream: odourless and colourless, they can be used in everything from air-conditioners to foam, and their replacements never quite match up to them.
Those gases originate from man-made products like chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which were phased out under a global agreement two decades ago but continue to linger in the atmosphere.
Part of the phase-out involved asthma inhalers, propelled by CFCs.
As part of an agreement among nearly 200 nations 23 years ago, the United States agreed to prohibit chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which are implicated in depleting the ozone layer.
Under EU law, profits of such CFCs should not be subject to additional taxation in the country of the parent company if the subsidiaries are engaged in genuine economic activities.
