It is short for Chlorofluorocarbon. It is an organic compound that contains only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine produced as a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. Many CFCs have been used as refrigerants, propellants, and solvents. The manufacture of such compounds has been phased out under the Montreal protocol because CFCs contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
