Preferred term

CFC-12  

Definition

  • CFC-12 (also known by the trade name Freon or Freon-12) is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and potent greenhouse gas that was widely used in air conditioners for automobiles and trucks for over 30 years, up until the mid-1990s. While use of CFC-12 in new vehicles has been banned since 1994, some vehicles built before then may still use it if they have not already been retrofitted to a non-ozone depleting refrigerant and they are still on the road.
