Nitrous Oxides and Halocarbons

If you are knowledgeable about notorious greenhouse gases, you must be aware of the gases that are the most harmful, primarily nitrous oxide and halocarbons. The latter consists of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride (PFCs). Because of normal biological processes in soil and water, nitrous oxides have low background quantities, but fluorinated gases are mostly dependent on industrial sources.

These gases are frequently created in industrial settings and processes. Smidges of nitrous oxide can be found in the water, soil, and environment, whereas halocarbons are a byproduct of industrial activities. These two well-known greenhouse gases are among the most deadly and have the power to quickly upset the entire ecological balance of society. We also make these fluorinated gases in our refrigerators and air conditioners
