Gas in the TV screen is more toxic than coal vapor
Nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3 ) is commonly used in toxic TV industry 17,000 times more than carbon dioxide (CO2) and every year has a production volume of 4,000 tons.
Michael Prather, director of the Institute of Environment at the University of California (USA), said the production caused NF 3 to be booming and will double next year. But unlike greenhouse gases such as CO 2 , SF 6 , PFC . NF 3 is not restricted in the Kyoto protocol on environmental protection.

However, scientists have not statistics how many tons of NF 3 emissions are released into the atmosphere every year. And Air Products, the maker of NF 3 for electronics companies, said this number is very small.
For consumers, experts still recommend not opening or smashing CRT monitors or liquid crystals.
