What Scent Keeps Horseflies Away? Horseflies are painful pests that feed on the blood of all mammals, including humans. The flies trace and find their prey by targeting the prey's appearance, movement and smell. Most fly control methods target the horsefly's olfactory senses.
CFCs. Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of methane and ethane. A common subclass is the hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which contain hydrogen, as well.
As in simpler alkanes, carbon in the CFCs and the HCFCs is tetrahedral. Because the fluorine and chlorine atoms differ greatly in size and effective charge from hydrogen and from each other, the methane-derived CFCs deviate from perfect tetrahedral symmetry.nce the partial pressure of the CFC (or SF 6) is derived, it is then compared to the atmospheric time histories for CFC-11, CFC-12, or SF 6 in which the pCFC directly corresponds to the year with the same measurement.
