Releasing refrigerator r -12 into the atmosphere is a criminal offense. a)true b) false

The answer is true where I live you cant release anything of the sort into the atmosphere

Solution:

Yes it a criminal offence of releasing R-12 in air because Dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12) is a colorless gas usually sold under the brand name Freon-12, and a chlorofluorocarbon halomethane (CFC) used as a refrigerant and aerosol spray propellant. Freon is a tasteless, mostly odorless gas. When it is deeply inhaled, it can cut off vital oxygen to your cells and lungs. Limited exposure — for example, a spill on your skin or breathing near an open container — is only mildly harmful. ... Inhaling these fumes on purpose to “get high” can be very dangerous.

Thus the required answer is true.
