are chemical compounds that contain carbon-fluorine
bonds. The relatively low reactivity and high polarity of the
carbon-fluorine bond imparts unique characteristics to fluorocarbons.
Fluorocarbons tend to be only slowly broken down in the environment and
therefore many are considered
persistent organic pollutants. Many commercially useful fluorocarbons
also contain
hydrogen,
chlorine,
or bromine.
