But R600a isn't a fluorinated gas, it's isobutane.

Crack it open and let it go, it's the same exact stuff as what's in
non-alcohol lighters and their re-fillers, portable "butane" torches and
aerosol cans. Preferably, a gentle and slow use of a Wheeled Pipe Cutter to
avoid any ignition heat and start a release, before your hand or glove freezes.

Yes, afaics that Act fairly much confirms that release of isobutane is not covered by it. Thank you.

No never seen any Refrigeration Police about with their sniffer dogs maybe?
I do not know the various differences in the gasses used, but obviously
if you were in the business of advertising a fridge disposal service and you
did not have gas capture systems, then that might have some rules, but if
its just your fridge and it leaks in use then how can one do much about it.
I'd also say that in some cases certain 'recycling centres' may direct you
to take it to another facility if its still gassed. I also wonder about the
car air conditioners and those on buildings as the former seem always to be
losing their gas, and the latter in a building that is to come down seem to
be given scant regard by the demolition company and bulldozed with the
rest. Brian

I can't imagine that you would be prosecuted if your fridge were to
develop a leak.

That sounds like what cows give off.

That's because you are blind, silly.

So it should be off to the gulag for them.

Nope, they produce mostly methane.

And its smells like, not sounds like, too.
