This 15 page report discusses refrigeration and air conditioning and the various aspects of it that have proven to be detrimental to the environment, primarily leading to an even greater rate of degradation of Earth’s ozone layer. Scientists feel this damage has been caused in part by chloroflourcarbons, most notably including the chemicals used in mobile air conditioning systems. Chlorine, in its active form, released by R12 (“Freon”) gases can destroy ozone lower the total amount in the stratosphere. To add economic insult to environmental injury, Freon is expensive. Tetrafluoroethane (known as "R134A") was introduced in the automotive air conditioning market and became the most popular replacement for Freon by the major car makers in cars and trucks built since 1994.
