EPA to propose phasing-out greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning
The Environmental Protection Agency is set to issue wide-reaching regulations on Monday to curb the use and production of greenhouse gases from the refrigeration and air conditioning industries.
The new regulations will target the production and importation of hydrofluorocarbons — commonly known as HFCs. The chemical compound was first developed in the 1980s to replace more harmful greenhouse gasses that depleted the earth’s ozone layer.
