Hi all. I am doing contract work for a mine in South Africa.(Automotive air conditioning) It has come to my attention that the mine is "using" +- 1100kg of R134a gas per month!! In other words, they are venting 1100kg of R134a gas in a month. This is very sad, because it means that they are not informed, or maybe just dont care, of the impact it have to the envirnment. They also do not have recovery units and proper tools to repear gasleaks. On the mine there is only two people with safe handling certivicates(myself and one other contractor). I have been asked to do a presentation on the harm that refrigerants can do to our world. If someone can please give me website add. or any other info on this matter. Please, I need solid and concrete facts, just that they can see I am not just thum sucking.
Thanks, Elardus (South Africa).
