March 11, 2015: ACE Warns to be on ‘High Alert’ to Prevent Refrigerant Abuse
One in Five American Teens Has Used Household Products — Including Refrigerants — to Get High
WASHINGTON — March 15 through March 21 is National Inhalants and Poisons Awareness Week, and the Alliance for Consumer Education (ACE) is urging members of the HVAC community to be on “high alert” for signs of refrigerant abuse.
According to ACE, one in five American teens has used household products — including refrigerants — to get high. Consequences are severe and can result in death (sudden sniffing death syndrome) — even on the first use.
