Fluorinated greenhouse gases

Powerful greenhouse gases. However, they are also an important element in liquid inhaler devices that are used to treat asthma and COPD patients. Liquid inhalers use F-Gases as a propellant to quickly release the medication into the lungs. They are mainly prescribed for patients who, due to their young age (children), old age (older people) or their disease severity (severe stage of pulmonary obstruction), have difficulties breathing in deeply from other devices (i.e., dry-powder inhalers) that do not contain F-Gases.
