The Clean Air Act states its a violation to purposely vent refrigerants that deplete ozone.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not specified
• D. Only in certain states

Answer: (B)

Under the Clean Air Act, deliberately venting refrigerants that deplete the ozone layer is illegal. The law requires proper recovery and containment of refrigerants during service, maintenance, repair, or disposal, so releasing them on purpose harms the atmosphere and violates the regulation. This prohibition applies nationwide, not just in certain states, making the statement true. Choices suggesting it’s optional, not specified, or false don’t fit the federal rule against knowingly releasing ozone-depleting substances.
