CFCs have a high chlorine content and have been linked strongly to ozone depletion and global warming. HCFCs were considered an improvement when they were first introduced, as they have lower chlorine and make a lesser contribution to ozone depletion and global warming. Savings potential and benefits for detecting leaks quickly.

With the decision to inform ourselves about pollutant levels in our vicinity comes the opportunity to make judicious health choices – in practice, deciding to stand some distance away from a bus stop rather than directly at it might mean the difference between receiving a whole day’s recommended dosage of NOx vs 50% of a daily dosage.

Increasing attention to the environmental and human health effects of PFAS is leading to the development of increasingly conservative (low) regulatory levels for PFAS in drinking water, soil, groundwater, sediments and surface waters4, 6-9. Major drawbacks arise with this approach as a result of using ozone, which is a chemical oxidant.

Further, VOC emissions can harm the environment and human health. Several other VOCs including ethane, propane, butane, pentane, and hexane react with NOx to form ground level ozone which has harmful effects on human health and on plants. Especially methane is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change.
