1. Refrigeration technicians who violate the Clean Air Act can:
- Lose their EPA certification, be fined, be required to appear in Federal court.
2. After 1995, any supplies of CFC refrigerants to service existing units in the USA can only come from:
- Recovery and recycling.
3. Refrigerant that is recovered can be returned to:
- The same system or other systems owned by the same person without restriction.
4. Refrigerant cannot be called "reclaimed" unless it:
- Has been chemically analyzed and meets the ARI-700 standard.
5. The EPA can require a technician to demonstrate their ability to perform proper procedures for
recovering and/or recycling refrigerant. Failure to demonstrate competency can result in:
- Revocation of the technician's certification.
6. What characteristic(s) of CFCs make them more likely to reach the stratosphere than most other
compounds containing chlorine?
- CFCs that contain chlorine but not hydrogen are stable and do not break down in the lower
atmosphere after being released, allowing chlorine or bromine to react with ozone, turning it back to
oxygen and thus destroying the ozone layer.

coded:
