and therefore have a very low concentration. They do not influence the photochemical smog which is not among the VOC volatile organic
compounds (as stipulated in the guidelines to the UNECE). The constituent refrigerants of R410A, do not damage the ozone layer. These
substances are regulated under the Montreal Protocol (revised 1992) and regulations EC no. 2037/200 of 29 June 2000.
