A partially halogenated chlorofluoroethane used as a solvent and [as] an intermediary [which is] suspected of depleting the ozone layer. 9, record 1, English, - 1%2Dchloro%2D1%2C1%2Ddifluoroethane

"DuPont," said the report, "has recognized the potential of CFC-22 as a substitute for refrigeration, air-conditioning, propellants and blowing agents." It is more expensive than F-11 and F-12; but let nobody tell you that substitutes do not exist (that same report, by the way, ended with the note "other substitutes being considered include CFCs 142b and 152a, both of which are currently in production"). 10, record 1, English, - 1%2Dchloro%2D1%2C1%2Ddifluoroethane

Isomère d'un chlorofluoroéthane partiellement halogéné, utilisé comme solvant et comme intermédiaire, qu'on soupçonne d'appauvrir la couche d'ozone et que l'on considère comme un gaz à effet de serre mineur. 7, record 1, French, - 1%2Dchloro%2D1%2C1%2Ddifluoro%C3%A9thane
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Si une substance possède plusieurs isomères, c'est l'isomère le plus symétrique qui porte le numéro fréon non suivi d'une lettre minuscule. La deuxième substance la plus symétrique, selon la disposition des atomes autour de chaque carbone, portera le numéro fréon suivi de la lettre a et la substance suivante, la lettre b, etc. Ainsi le monochlorodifluoroéthane porte le numéro 142b; on ne parle pas des fréons 142 et 142a commercialement sans intérêt. Il ne faut pas confondre l'indicatif d'isomérie, soit les minuscules a et b, avec la majuscule B, qui signale la présence d'un atome d'un brome dans un dérivé (fréon 13B1, par exemple). 8, record 1, French, - 1%2Dchloro%2D1%2C1%2Ddifluoro%C3%A9thane
