Freon is a commercial trademark for a series of fluorocarbon products used in refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, as aerosol propellants, blowing agents, fire extinguishing agents, and cleaning fluids and solvents. Many types contain chlorine as well as fluorine, and should be called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) [85,86].

The aerosol in its familiar modern form was first described in a patent filed in 1926 by Rotheim for the spraying of insecticides, paints, cosmetics, and fire extinguishants. Subsequent patents described a variety of propellants including chloromethane, hydrocarbons, such as 2-methylpropane, and dimethyl ether. The first successful introduction of aerosols on a large scale occurred in 1942 when a pyrcthroid/scsamc oil formulation pressurized with di-chlorodifluoromethanc (CFC 12) was developed by Goodhue and Sullivan for US military... 

Industrial uses of aerosols include aerosol propellants, anti foam sprays, fire extinguishers and paints. Herzka Pickthal (Ref 5) describe aerosol propellants, containers, valves, filling methods, lab procedures, emulsified systems, etc Refs 1)Webster s New Collegiate Dic-... 

The term glue-sniffing derives from the abuse of adhesives which often contain solvents such as toluene, ethyl acetate, acetone, or ethyl methyl ketone. These, and similar compounds, also occur in a diverse range of other commercial products which may be abused, e.g. shoe-cleaners, nail varnish, dry-cleaning fluids, bottled fuel gases (butane and propane), aerosol propellents, and fire extinguishers (bromochlorodifluoromethane). 

Trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane are used in correction fluids, dry-cleaning products, degreasing sprays, and solvents and spot removers. Bromochlorodifluoro-methane is a compound found in halon fire extinguishers that is abused. Freon is used for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Anesthetics include halothane, chloroform, and the local anesthetic ethyl chloride. Methylene chloride is a component of rubber cement, paint strippers, and degreasing agents, and fluorocarbons are present in many types of aerosol sprays. 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used in fire extinguishers and as a propellant in aerosol products. A propellant is a gas that pushes liquids out of a spray can.
