Halon 1301, a promising agent to eliminate the smoke and heat damage of a fire, has been used in explosion-suppression systems, in full-flooding systems where both Class A and Class B fire hazards are present, in museums and libraries, and in some passenger aircraft. Halon 1301 is a liquefied gas, extinguishing in extremely low concentration ... It is ... about 10 times more efficient than carbon dioxide. 7, record 1, English, - bromotrifluoromethane

Comme la nomenclature industrielle Fréon ne distingue pas un dérivé chloré d’un dérivé bromé, on reconnaît le chlorotrifluorométhane(CC1F3) et le bromotrifluorométhane(CBrF3) en nommant le premier CFC 13 et le second CFC 13B1. Le B1 signale la présence d’un atome de brome; de la même façon l'appellation d’un autre hydrocarbure bromé, le CFC 114B2, signale la présence de deux atomes de brome. Il ne faut pas confondre la lettre majuscule B, indicatif du brome, avec la lettre minuscule b qui sert d’indicatif d’isomérie(le CFC 142b, pour le monochlorodifluoroéthane par exemple). 5, record 1, French, - bromotrifluorom%C3%A9thane
