Freon is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), a non-combustible gas that is used as a refrigerant in common appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and water coolers. When released, Freon reacts with ozone in the upper atmosphere, causing ozone depletion – reducing the earth’s protective properties against ultraviolet radiation. For this reason, it is crucial that Freon is disposed of properly by a certified technician who can properly handle the gas.
