Recover all refrigerants. - CORRECT ANSWER Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act requires
technicians to what?
The earth's stratosphere. - CORRECT ANSWER The objective of the Clean Air Act is to protect what?
HydroFlouroCarbon's - CORRECT ANSWER HFC's

The Montreal Protocol. - CORRECT ANSWER Which international treaty agreement was the basis for
Section 608?
1.Crop losses

3.Skin Cancer
4.Reduced marine life
5.Deforestation
6.Increased ground level ozone - CORRECT ANSWER Depletion of the ozone in the stratosphere is
known to cause what 6 things?
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. - CORRECT ANSWER What happens when CFC or HCFC molecules get in
the stratosphere & free atoms of Chlorine are set free?
