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
2.Increases in eye diseases
3.Skin Cancer
4.Reduced marine life
5.Deforestation
6.Increased ground level ozone
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.
