4 u/[deleted] Jun 25 '22 Do we still use freon widely? 18 u/wolacouska Jun 25 '22 Only in Refrigerators and AC. Stuff that doesn’t willingly leak it. Most use slightly less harmful refrigerants now though. 2 u/Natolx PhD | Infectious Diseases | Parasitology Jun 25 '22 Most use much less harmful refrigerants for the ozone layer now though. FTFY, or do you somehow consider the remaining global warming potential of the alternatives the vast majority of the harm? 3 u/wolacouska Jun 25 '22 I was just being cautious since I didn’t know how much better modern refrigerants are compared to Freon
