[edit] Freon costs

I'm dubious about the freon costs, or at least about how much is due to treaties. http://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_25914.html says freon (r134) was $10/lb in 2002 - not $85. Ditto http://66.102.11.104/search?q=cache:gd4olrVxvHIJ:www.3di.com/gbof/downloads/success_stories/mat_res_waste20.pdf+freon+cost&hl=en

[edit] Is Freon really destroying the ozone layer?

After reading http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1994/vo10no23.htm , I'm not sure what to believe. - Mpnolan 18:40, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

(William M. Connolley 19:17, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)) Believe the wiki ozone depletion page and the scientific references listed therein. The newamerican piece is utter tosh. If you want a sample, try Dr. Ray also pointed out that "CFC molecules are four to eight times heavier than air.". If you can't work out why thats utterly irrelevant, I can enlighten you, but its better if you can work it out for yourself. Then try to work out why the newamerican can't.

The List of Refrigerants mentions the word Freon only once. After looking through that article, I had no idea what a Freon was. With this page, at least the users will understand what the long list of chemicals represents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olego (talk • contribs) 19:59, 14 July 2007
