No, modern perfumes generally do not release CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). While older aerosol sprays did utilize CFCs as propellants, these were phased out due to their harmful effects on the ozone layer. The referenced article from Quora mentions that "Most of the perfumes contain Chemicals known as Chorofluorocarbons(CFCs)," but this statement is outdated and inaccurate concerning currently manufactured and sold perfumes. The widespread ban on CFCs in aerosol products, as documented by the EPA, effectively removed them from most consumer products, including many perfumes that once used aerosol delivery systems. The shift to CFC-free aerosols, as noted in the Slate article, significantly reduced environmental impact.
While some older formulations might have contained CFCs, present-day perfumes use alternative propellants that are environmentally safer. Therefore, the concern regarding CFC release from perfumes is largely obsolete due to regulatory changes and technological advancements. The reference stating some perfumes contain CFCs is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect current manufacturing practices.
