Is Air conditioner Pollution a real Threat? Many scientists believe that communities with additional air conditioning units are affecting their health more. Looking at just how ac affects people's health has started to become more important because each year, ac grows more popular in the home. Air conditioning systems are extremely all-important within our lives for those hot summers. We have to be able to stay comfortable while on the job and home. Air conditioning pollution had been a major problem in recent years. Currently, we have a popular demand for home units. Many individuals believe that ac units are beginning to play a role in global warming. There was a treaty named the Montreal Protocol that was signed back in 1987 which was specifically geared towards air conditioners. This treaty was made to shield the ozone layer from air conditioners, blocking out multiple types of hydrogenated hydrocarbons.

Ever since the Montreal Protocol was created, chlorofluorocarbons within the atmosphere have stayed the same, but the halon were able to increase. While doing so, reports were all on the web stating that people have been trying to sneak chlorofluorocarbon from newly countries and countries including India and China. Even now, the Montreal Protocol treat continues to be considered the most effective worldwide environmental agreement on record.

Recently, the top brand air conditioning brands including Concord, Armstrong and American Standard have modified their systems where they don't lead to climate change.

Cooling the household using an air conditioning system is a wonderful thing for yourself and your household, but it's actually moving heat outside, which is not beneficial to our planet. People in the United States uses the most electricity for ac than any country.worldwide (China sooner or later is expected to surpass us by 2020). For each and every country, the amount of individuals who uses ac units for their homes is only going to carry on and rise because each year, the summers continue to get hotter. Coal and energy sources are generally running the electricity required for most houses. This is changing our climate dramatically.

With everything else rising including incomes, the people as well as the hot temperatures, ac only will carry on and rise.

With everything rising including incomes, the population and the hot temperatures, air conditioning will only continue to rise. When the Montreal Protocol was first established, people were not educated enough on how air conditioning was destroying the ozone layer. This means that even today with the modifications on the technology the air conditioners have, it could still be destroying the ozone layer. But, there is a positive side with the technology we have today. As of now, countries including the United States, China and India are all working on new low energy techniques that would be geared toward climates with higher temperatures. They are adding older technologies such as water evaporation systems and wind towers to newer eco-friendly technologies. Right now, they've managed develop a solar energy air conditioners, which will help lower people's energy payments by eliminating rooftop panels. Then you have the geothermal heat pumps, which is designed to use the typical earth temperature to heat up and cool down water. One strategy that includes no technology is using no air conditioner. Now I know that this method doesn't seem very attractive, but it can be a very easy method to actually keep you cool. It included insulating your home properly. To use this method, first go out and buy a multiple floor and ceiling fans. Then, open up your windows to allow the air to properly flow. Personally, I wouldn't use this method unless you live in an area with shorter and less hot summers.
