Don’t the Russians know that freon is banned because it is a greenhouse gas and destroys the ozone! Where are the environazis when you need them...
Boy are they in trouble now Al Gore is going to have a talk with them
Freon gas (R-12 for instance) released into a standard pressure and temperature situation is heavy; it weighs much more, around five times more than the air it displaces. So it drops like a rock into spaces where it can’t drop any further, and pushes air out — causing suffocation.
Shipyard workers know that they need ventilation protection whenever freon might be released into a vessel’s hull.
Given that, it amazes me how “scientists” get away with telling people that Freon is responsible for damage to Earth’s upper altitude ozone layer.
