Le fluor est un halogène essentiel des CFC (chlorofluorocarbures). Cependant contrairement au chlore, qui détruit l'ozone de la stratosphère, le fluor est inoffensif. On appelle parfois CFC inoffensifs ou HFC (hydrofluorocarbures) les CFC qui ne contiennent que du fluor et de l'hydrogène. 4, record 1, French, - fluor

La extracción del flúor es difícil dada su gran actividad química. Se efectúa por electrólisis, en aparatos de cobre y níquel, de fluoruros ácidos fundidos o del ácido fluorhídrico. Los derivados orgánicos fluorados se emplean como agentes frigoríficos, así como en los extintores de incendios. En el campo de la astronáutica se efectúan importantes investigaciones tendientes a utilizar el flúor como comburente [...] 2, record 1, Spanish, - fl%C3%BAor
