Pentafluoroethane degrades in the atmosphere to CO2 and HF by reaction with naturally occurring hydroxyl radicals. The atmospheric lifetime is estimated to be 40.7 years. Pentafluoroethane has no effect on stratospheric ozone since it contains neither chlorine nor bromine. Pentafluoroethane has a global warning potential of 2800 relative to CO2 7 at 100 years.
