halocarbon compounds are chemicals in which one or more carbon atoms are linked by covalent bonds with one or more halogen atoms ( fluorine , chlorine , bromine or iodine – group 17 ) resulting in the formation of organofluorine compounds , organochlorine compounds , organobromine compounds , and organoiodine compounds .

chlorine halocarbons are the most common and are called organochlorides .

many synthetic organic compounds such as plastic polymers , and a few natural ones , contain halogen atoms ; they are known as halogenated compounds or organohalogens .

organochlorides are the most common industrially used organohalides , although the other organohalides are used commonly in organic synthesis .

except for extremely rare cases , organohalides are not produced biologically , but many pharmaceuticals are organohalides .

notably , many pharmaceuticals such as prozac have trifluoromethyl groups .

, in the stratosphere has been another recent example of the contribution of halocarbons to chemical budgets and reactions in the atmosphere . it has been suggested that a combination of increased halocarbon emissions and projected increases of vertical transport into the tropical stratosphere could lead to increased contributions of such compounds to halogen background levels and thus to ozone depletion ( dessens et al .
this as establishes minimum requirements for halocarbon clean agent hand - held fire extinguishers carried on board civil aircraft . the requirements include : design ( cylinder , valve , gauge , mounting equipment ) , performance ( firefighting effectiveness - hidden fire test , discharge test , type , etc . ) , environmental ( ozone depleting / global warming potential , atmospheric life span ) , and occupant safety concerns ( toxicology - seat fire test ) .
a certified person is someone who holds a certificate . the fhr 2003 stipulates that only a certified person may install , service , leak test or charge a refrigeration or air - conditioning system or do any other work on the system that may result in the release of a halocarbon . the certificate must be recognized either by the province or territory in which the work is being done or by three or more provinces or territories .
elements of the typical volcanic plume chemistry such as hcl & hf in the presence of other halocarbons ( such as bromomethane ) and hydrocarbons , will substitute chlorine and fluorine for bromine , favouring a halocarbon light enough to remain long term in the stratosphere , while the heaviest ( eg . bromine ) ion returns to earth in water soluble form without the rest of the halocarbon . the hypothesis that volcanic chlorine & fluorine is removed from the atmosphere by precipitation omits the fact that lighter halogens are favoured by halocarbons while heavier halogens are favoured by water soluble acid formation . this ensures that once the bromine has done its damage , lighter halogens are then combined with non - polar chemicals that are too light to settle out , and neither sufficiently water soluble nor hydrophylic to be removed from the stratosphere by precipitation . furthermore , the surface of the volcanic aerosol not only provides an increased surface area on which ozone can be broken down , but additionally increases the fraction of stratospheric halogen that occurs in ozone destroying forms - as observed in the substantial increase in the ozone destroying forms of chlorine by wilson et al . , ( 1993 ) .
organochlorine compounds are usually taken to be man made ; yet methyl chloride has been demonstrated as a product of microbial fermentation 1 and of the smouldering combustion of vegetation ( a . e . o ' keeffe , personal communication ) and zafiriou 2 has predicted its ubiquitous presence in the environment . here i report measurements of methyl chloride and other halomethanes in the air and coastal waters of southern england between december 1974 and april 1975 . these measurements confirm those of r . a . rasmussen ( personal communication ) who found methyl chloride in rural air over the west coast of the usa ; they reveal methyl chloride as the dominant halocarbon of the atmosphere . the possible bearing of this discovery on the chlorine - catalysed destruction of stratospheric ozone is discussed .
ziska et al . calculate historical and future trends in sea - to - air fluxes of the vsls ch 2 br 2 , chbr 3 and ch 3 i from 1979 to 2100 , using three cmip5 models . assuming constant concentration fields in the ocean and atmosphere , i . e . changes induced only via the gas transfer coefficient k w , increases of 6–8 % are predicted to have occurred during 1979–2013 , due almost entirely to increases in wind speed . for the time period 2006–2100 , the multi - model mean increases for rcp 8 . 5 were 29 % , 23 % and 6 % for chbr 3 , ch 2 br 2 , and ch 3 i , respectively , due mainly to increases in sst which are predicted to range from 2 to 4 k in all latitudinal bands across all models . the actual influence of future ocean productivity changes on the oceanic halocarbon production rates and concentrations are currently unclear and need to be assessed in follow - up studies .

naoyoshi taguchi , the founder of the company , graduated from nagata high school in hyogo prefecture , enrolled at the osaka institute of technology , and subsequently became involved in development work .
, naoyoshi taguchi , figaro engineering’s future founder , noticed a newspaper article on a propane gas explosion at lake yamanaka . immediately he recognized the serious need for a gas leak detector . he was consumed by the need to accelerate research on gas detection sensors and thus began a series of experiments to find functional materials for gas detection . after two years of intensive experiments , he chose tin oxide ( sno2 ) for gas detection .
, taguchi invented a semiconductor element with a very simple circuit to detect extremely low concentrations of inflammable and reducing gases . together with his research colleagues , he commercialized the product and established business operations . the sensor was incorporated into gas leak detectors for homes and industrial usage under the name taguchi gas sensor ( tgs ) , with sales both in japan and overseas .
tgs109 was mass - produced , selling in large numbers . tgs is the abbreviation of ‘taguchi gas sensor’ .
. to name the company , taguchi , an avid fan of opera , named the company figaro after the name of the protagonist and jack - of - all - trades in the opera ‘the barber of seville’ . figaro’s ability to challenge anything represented taguchi’s vitality and desire to challenge conventional wisdom .
a combined research laboratory and factory was built in higashi - toyonaka city the following year , and gas sensor development and manufacture commenced . in the same year , gas alarm manufacturers formed the gas alarm liaison council which later established the expiration date for alarms at three years .
, nurturing development , manufacturing , and maintenance capabilities , and building the foundation of a progressive enterprise . the company was recognized by the media at the time as possessing ‘venture spirit’ , resulting in a ratio of 100 : 1 in student applications for successful employment , and an increased public awareness of the company .
figaro responded to the problem of faulty operation of alarms in underground shopping centers by rapidly developing countermeasures such as the addition of compounds to its sensor elements and by improving filters . these measures raised public awareness of the company as a leading , reliable manufacturer of gas sensors .
, in preparation for overseas expansion , a north american office was established in 1980 and was formally incorporated as figaro usa inc . in 1983 , providing the basis for international expansion . in the same year , the company received the electrochemical society of japan’s tanahashi award for technology development enterprises founded on electrochemistry and industrial physics .
receipt of this award was a demonstration of the company’s nature , both in name and reality , as one of product development and technical ability . in the following year , the company moved to its current headquarters and factory to mino city to expand business .
the dangers of gas leaks in urban housing came into focus within the context of greater hermetic sealing of housing , and the company began shifting its focus to equipment and environments responding to the needs of society , and consequently developed its world - class mass production system .
, the company received the technology award of the chemical society of japan , further motivating research and development , and reinforcing the abilities of the organization in both technology and development . in the same year , a capital alliance was formed with tokuyama , a company handling chemicals and electronic products , despite joining the tokuyama group , the progressive and unique nature of the company as a venture business with proactive management , employee performance awards , liberal vacation policy , and a flex - time system was retained .
, operations were expanded into china , and tianjin figaro inc . was established as a japan - china joint venture , a rarity at the time . in an era when few japanese manufacturers had a presence in china , the company moved aggressively into the chinese market with the manufacturing of gas sensors in china and the potential of selling into the chinese retail market . china would become a base for expansion into asia .
in the united states , the first regulations mandating the installation of carbon monoxide alarms were made in 1994 , and figaro dramatically increased its shipments of carbon monoxide sensors . fourteen years after establishing the north american office , overseas operations began to expand rapidly .
a sensor element manufactured with thick - film printing technology applied in - house by figaro engineering .
. these techniques applied thick - film printing technology to the manufacture of sensor elements , conquering mass production problems and improving quality . customer demands were satisfied through a massive improvement in manufacturing capacity , miniaturization , and reduced power consumption .
, competitors , including overseas manufacturers from china , entered the gas sensor market and the pressure to drop sensor prices increased . in this climate , figaro accelerated its research and development to diversify sensor technology , and in doing so enhanced product manufacture with knowhow and added value beyond the capabilities of its competitors .
, figaro commenced in - house development of electrochemical sensors in response to market demands for a battery operable sensor with no significant humidity dependency .
demands for semiconductor gas sensors to detect low concentrations were growing , and figaro therefore moved ahead with research and development on this next generation of sensors .
, legislation in the us requiring installation of carbon monoxide detection alarms was implemented in most states , and exports of co sensors rapidly increased . figaro’s battery operable electrochemical gas sensor was developed in 2006 and entered the market , gaining a significant share of the market .
figaro’s thick - film printing technology and expansion of tianjin figaro’s manufacturing capacity have propelled figaro to the position of global leader in gas sensor manufacturing capacity . nevertheless , many challenges remain on figaro’s path to becoming the unquestioned world leader in the gas sensing field . the most notable challenge to figaro is exploiting the unlimited possibilities of gas sensor technology . examples of new applications include expansion of the company’s gas chromatography technology into new fields , creation of a more comfortable and livable environment through the use of gas sensors , and measurement of gases and odors emitted by the human body in healthcare applications . revisions to the fire prevention law in japan to encourage improved safety may possibly bring major changes to the japanese market , and it is anticipated that figaro’s contribution to safety and security will expand as a result . with 2020 in mind , figaro is promoting a long - term strategic plan to bring satisfaction to all stakeholders through a process of creating new enterprise value via research and development .

shaving is the removal of hair , by using a razor or any other kind of bladed implement , to slice it down — to the level of the skin or otherwise .

shaving is most commonly practiced by men to remove their facial hair and by women to remove their leg and underarm hair .

both men and women sometimes shave their chest hair , abdominal hair , leg hair , underarm hair , pubic hair , or any other bodily hair .

head shaving is much more common among men .

it is often associated with religious practice , the armed forces and some competitive sports such as swimming , running and extreme sports .

historically , head shaving has also been used to humiliate , punish and show submission to an authority , and in more recent history also as part of fund-raising efforts , particularly for cancer research organizations and charitable organizations which serve cancer patients .
