Sulfur Hexafluoride in You Computers
Sulfur Hexafluoride – California passed tonight the world’s first law controlling Sulfur Hexafluoride coming from your computers!. Sulfur hexafluoride is an inorganic compound with the formula SF6. Sulfur hexafluoride is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-flammable gas (under standard conditions).
In this case, Sulfur Hexafluoride is a greenhouse gas that emits from computers. The new law affects 85 California manufacturing facilities predominately in Silicon Valley that produce computer chips. The law controlling Sulfur Hexafluoride coming from computers, forces them to cut Sulfur Hexafluoride and similar gases released from your computers by 50% in 3 years.
The LA Times reports about controlling Sulfur Hexafluoride coming from computers, they can be as much as 23,000 times “more potent than carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emitted by automobiles, power plants and refineries, among other sources. A single pound of sulfur hexafluoride has the same heat-trapping potential as 10 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or an automobile trip around the Earth.”
