Ozone Awareness

The National Ozone Unit took part in ozone awareness  activities at Fatima Boys College Mucurapo on Nov 18th and the Islamic Center Mucurapo on Nov 26th, 2025. Over 600 students and parents would have attended to gain insight into ozone awareness, sun safety, energy efficiency and advancements in ozone protection. 

 

Training for Refrigeration and AC Technicians

The National Ozone Unit in collaboration with the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry Association (ARIA) conducted training done at the Munroe Road Community Centre for technicians in good refrigeration practice.  Participants were exposed to updated information on safe and environmentally air conditioning and refrigeration friendly practices, recovery of refrigerant and new refrigerant such as hydrocarbon refrigerant.
