In the summary, the author explains, how the gas emissions are making the environment worse. He said that the gas that replaced the HCFCs, for CFCs is also dangerous and has an impact on global warming. Also the author talks about the leaks of this kind of gases, which are tons and tons of lost gas in the air. In addition he said that there are old cars that don’t use refrigerants, so they help to protect the ozone layer. The CFC was the first gas used to aerosols and refrigerants, this gas destroy the ozone layer in a massive way. Other is the HCFCs, which is a similar one in structure, but is less dangerous than the first one. In conclusion the author explained some differences between gases and consequences.
In the world, the ozone layer is one of the most important systems to protect. It helps us to avoid the direct sunrays. Since the air conditioner was started, this has been causing a serious problem. The houses, offices and places that are receiving the cooling, are also destroying the ozone layer with the emissions of these refrigerant gases. Some developed nations are taking actions to protect the ozone layer, and have tried to change the worst gases for others minus dangerous. The point is that it is not a simple problem from the companies who are producing this. The main cause is because we, every single person, including myself, have used these refrigerants at one time or another at least once.
Keeping cool is costing us the most expensive price for our future. The global warming is making our lives hotter than earlier days. Is not a secret that all of the people around the world know about the air conditioner and refrigerants. So, every person who has the chance or opportunity to get this comfortable good will get it.
We don’t think too much about the consequences of our actions. We just enjoy the moment and feel cool, comfortable. The problem is that our saturation of this service is killing the ozone layer, and with it, our chance to survive from the solar rays in the near future.
Another important point is the leaks of gases. Every day, the ozone layer received tons and tons of dangerous gases that come from leaks. This is from the air conditioner machines, fridges or everything that requires refrigerants. The amount of gas measured by leaks is relevant. “If you just pull that old air-conditioner off the wall and let its two kilograms of refrigerant escape or leave it to slowly leak away at the tip, you will have emitted the equivalent of four tons of carbon dioxide – the same as six months of driving your car” said the Department of Environment.
In conclusion, it’s visible how the ozone layer has been destroyed. Just stand under the sun in the day and remain it for 5 minutes and you’ll burn your skin with chances to get insulation.
