Certain types of Freon are. Those types are no longer used in new air conditioning or refrigeration systems. Older systems will still have them, but you can't replace lost fluid if you have a leak. Not with the older type of fluid, but you can replace it with the newer types. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |

Sure, they are nasty things, in how they combine in the upper atmosphere to eat ozone, but VOC's are things that burn, and were not burned before they were released, right? It all just has to do with classifications, and I believe Freon is in a different classification. -- Jim in NC |

That must have been nonexistium that the AC technician put in my AC at home this spring. G The old stuff is still available, but it costs more than the new stuff, and must be used by licensed tecs, and must be pumped out and recovered when conditions demand that it be removed from the system. I think I heard that the old stuff is not being manufactured anymore, but that the existing stockpiles will last for a few more years, but I'm not at all sure about that. -- Jim in NC |

As such, there have been a number of proposals to ban things that
contain such chemicals outright. In fact, commercial production of chemicals like carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethane, and certain types of Freon have ceased by international agreement. Hey -- we used to clean our HO train set railroad tracks with carbon tetrachloride, when I was a kid. Sure made the tracks shiny! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
