The compressors of air conditioning devices and fridges, together with several pipes, form a cooling system. In these pipes, are gases called ‘Chlorofluorocarbons’ (CFC) is contained. It is very harmful to the body and the environment. When the pipe system is broken up, the gas is released. Ideally it is captured because it is so harmful.

Ingestion of CFC can cause nausea, diphtheria and stomach issues. As a protection, he should wear a gas mask and hand gloves to protect himself from coming into contact with the gas.

If the compressor has already been removed from pipes of the cooling system, then all the gas will have left but it will contain mineral oil, which must be captured and not dumped on the ground. The captured mineral oil can be sold in the market for recycling or as lubricant for simple machines and tools. if the oil is dumped on the ground It will terribly poison the soil and groundwater for a very long time. Mineral oil contamination of ground water can damage your kidney and liver. Don’t get in contact with the mineral oil. Wear oil proof plastic gloves.
