Chlorofluorocarbons - any appliance or device which contains and uses a Class I or Class II substance as a refrigerant and which is used for household or commercial purposes, including any air conditioner, refrigerator, chiller, or freezer.
As a result of the Clean Air Act Amendment, the Environmental Protection Agency has issued regulations that require reductions in the use and emissions of chlorofluorocarbons. In addition, all air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. must be free of chlorofluorocarbons and labeled as such prior to disposal.
