STATE OF THE ART REVIEW ON THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FREON AND THEIR EFFECTS

Freon is viewed as a vital component in the cooling process. Nevertheless, it poses significant risks to human health and plays an indirect role in environmental degradation. The expanding hole in the ozone layer has severe repercussions for living organisms today. Research indicates that refrigerants commonly utilized in air conditioning significantly contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, potentially rendering habitats uninhabitable due to its deterioration. Moreover, Freon itself presents direct threats through its adverse effects on human health inhaling this gas can lead to serious respiratory issues and disrupt overall bodily functions. Additionally, it may inflict damage at the genetic level and weaken the immune system due to harmful cosmic radiation, increasing susceptibility to various illnesses. Therefore, its crucial to implement prevention strategies and establish first aid procedures when exposure occurs. A comparison will also be made regarding refrigerants employed in air conditioning systems.
