What I find interesting here is that in Arizona, R12 isn't made available for mobile AC systems though. If you can get R12 for your older vehicle, it's not legal either!
What we can get is Freeze 12 which is basically R22 and propane which is highly combustible and inflammable! Freeze 12 causes permanent nervous system damage and has even been associated with Alzheimers disease! If it goes up in flames, you will not likely escape without serious injury with Freeze 12 upon explosion.
I find it hard to believe it is illegal here since I had my container of Envirosafe sent to my workplace at Penske and it was clearly marked as to what is was and no one said a thing! This was the size of a 5 gallon propane tank!
I would be more inclined to believe that funds exchanged hands here to make sure that "Coke" got the lions share of the market, in this case Coke being R134A.
I would like to know what statute law is being broken with Envirosafe being used and the article should have cited references instead of being so vague.
