Why are chlorofluorocarbons associated with stratospheric ozone depletion?

  1. They directly produce all stratospheric oxygen
  2. They contain no halogens
  3. Released chlorine can catalytically destroy ozone

03 / Core

What distinguishes recovery from recycling of refrigerant?

  1. Recovery always restores virgin specifications
  2. The terms always mean destruction
  3. Recovery removes and stores refrigerant; recycling cleans it for reuse using specified processes
  4. Recycling means intentional venting
Show answer & explanation

Recovery removes and stores refrigerant; recycling cleans it for reuse using specified processes

Recovery transfers refrigerant from equipment to a container. Recycling includes cleaning steps, while reclamation is a separate process and standard.
