this will just open up a whole new rabbit hole of #environnemental dumpster fires, as the #fgases used in microchip manufacturing are extremely potent greenhouse gases, and i mean like in the ranges of thousands or tens of thousands of times of the warming potential of CO2. there will also be a […]

F-GASES, AN UNPRECEDENTED CASE OF CHEMICAL POLLUTION  - META The transition to refrigerants and blowing agents using F-gases with lower global warming potential may have reduced climate impacts but the inconvenient truth is that these F-gases are themselves or ...

🚨Refrigerants are the biggest contributors to the #PFAS crisis, making up 63% of emissions in the EU!

🌍Reducing fluorinated gas usage could significantly reduce harmful “forever chemicals” pollution in our environment.

💡Did you know #FGases cause 63% of all #PFAS emissions in the EU?

🥶They’re in AC, refrigeration, and more.

🌱The good news: safe, energy-efficient, and climate-friendly alternatives are here!

🌍Let’s cool down our impact with natural refrigerants!

Text: 🚨Kältemittel tragen mit 63 % der Emissionen in der EU am meisten zur #PFAS-Krise bei!

Schon gewusst? #FGases gehören zu den Ewigkeitschemikalien #PFAS u. verstecken sich in Klimaanlagen u. Kühlgeräten. Die @echa.europa.eu diskutiert akt. über ihre Beschränkung. Wichtig: Alle F-Gase müssen beschränkt bleiben. Keine Ausnahmen für industr. Anwendungen! t1p.de/fgase
