"EPA Restricts Climate-Warming Chemicals Used in Refrigeration"

"The Obama administration moved Thursday to restrict the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), the most potent greenhouse gases emitted by human activity.

The Environmental Protection Agency declared Thursday in a regulation that certain uses for HFCs are prohibited and certain alternatives can be used.

HFCs do not naturally occur anywhere and have been used in refrigeration, air conditioning, aerosols, fire retardants and similar applications."
