Fluorinated gases

Fluorinated gases belong to the category of greenhouse gases. Fluorinated gases are gases that nearly exclusively result from human activities (e.g. industrial/manufacturing processes), i.e. there are no natural sources of fluorinated gases. These gases can be found in different products such as fridges or aerosol cans. While they are not ozone-depleting, their Global Warming Potential (GWP) is very high.
