Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and peopleâs livelihoods WWF works to protect. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which we are already experiencing. WWF works to:
How does your air conditioner manage this? In a similar way to how your refrigerator manages to stays cold, but minus the insulated box. A nonflammable gas, known as Freon, undergoes an evaporation process again and again within most refrigerators in order to keep the temperature low. The same cycle is used for air conditioners. This is how it works: First, a compressor in your air conditioner compresses cold Freon gas. A small amount of oil is combined with the Freon gas to lubricate the compressor. When the Freon gas is compressed, its pressure rises, making it very hot.
Best Answer: Refrigerant is not poisinous. Breathing it will not hurt you unless there is enough to displace the oxygen in the room. It would take a lot more than is in a air conditioning system to displace th oxygen in your appartment. Also most freons are odorless.
