EPA Reaches Settlement with Safeway to Reduce Ozone Depleting Refrigerants


The article I read was about Safeway’s refrigeration harming the ozone layer, and how

this issue will be fixed
...
659 of Safeway’s
store have been leaking a chemical known as hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) into the
atmosphere
...
Once in the air the HCFC
quickly starts to deplete the oxygen from the ozone layer
...
The HCFC is also the main reason why there are gaps in the ozone layer each year,
around the Arctic, and Antarctic areas
...
1 million dollars to re-equip all of their stores with
environmentally friendly appliances, this is estimated to reduce future annual HCFC emissions
by 100,000 pounds
...



This was a very interesting article, and I was very surprised that we don’t hear about this

sort of thing more often
...
I think it is great that the EPA is able to stop this from happening,

with major companies
...
