Weather and climate
It is widely used in electrical equipment and metallurgy. Its global warming potential is 23,900 times more than carbon dioxide--more than any other gas. Any sulfur hexafluoride that escapes becomes a near permanent part of the atmosphere as it will persist for thousands of years. The amount of sulfur hexafluoride in the atmosphere is ...
