Cleaning up refrigerant
General Measures:
1. Gas/vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in confined spaces,
particularly at or below ground level.
2. Eliminate every possible source of ignition.
3. Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
4. Evacuate unnecessary personnel, isolate, and ventilate the area.
5. Do not get in eyes, on the skin, or clothing. Do not breathe vapours or gas.
6. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters.
7. Stop the source of the release, if safe to do so. Consider the use of water spray to
disperse vapours.
8. Isolate the area until gas has dispersed. Ventilate and gas test area before
entering. Contact competent authorities after a spill.
Disposal
WARNING!!! Releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere is strictly forbidden!
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate
collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the
collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or
dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food
chain, damaging your health and well-being.
