Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC): a compound consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, and carbon.
The HCFCs are one class of chemicals being used to replace the [[CFC]]s. They contain [[chlorine]] and thus deplete [[stratospheric]] [[ozone]], but to a much lesser extent than CFCs. HCFCs have [[ozone depletion potentials]] (ODPs) ranging from 0.01 to 0.1.
Production of HCFCs with the highest ODPs will be phased out first, followed by other HCFCs. A [http://www.epa.gov/ozone/ods2.html table] of ozone-depleting substances shows their ODPs, GWPs, and CAS numbers. HCFCs are numbered according to a [http://www.epa.gov/ozone/geninfo/numbers.html standard scheme].
