Emissions of greenhouse gases contribute significantly to global warming. Not only carbon dioxide (CO2) but also fluorine-containing gases -- including so-called per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons, or PFCs -- have a significant share in this development. Researchers at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of Heidelberg University led by Prof. Dr Michael…

The Northern Hemisphere is hot this week. Very hot. In London, temperatures climbed above 104 degrees Fahrenheit for the first time in recorded history.
