SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
● Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires technicians to what?
Answer: Recover all refrigerants.
● The objective of the Clean Air Act is to protect what? Answer: The
earth's stratosphere.
● HFC's Answer: HydroFlouroCarbon's
● CFC's Answer: ChloroFluoroCarbon's
● ODP Answer: Ozone Depletion Potential
● Which international treaty agreement was the basis for Section 608?
Answer: The Montreal Protocol.
● Depletion of the ozone in the stratosphere is know to cause what 6
things? Answer: 1.Crop losses

● What happens when CFC or HCFC molecules get in the stratosphere
& free atoms of Chlorine are set free? Answer: These atoms attack
Ozone Molecules causing the formation of Chlorine Monoxide (CLO),
after colliding with another Ozone Molecule, causes 2 Oxygen (O2)
molecules to be made & leaving an atom of chlorine to act as "Free
Agent" starting the process over until 100,000 molecules of Ozone are
destroyed by just one atom of chloride.
