Just to ease your mind some: when they set those high standards, the
military is always exempt. My friend from the motor pool tells me
they still vent the freon right into the air when they work on
military AC units, etc.
Compared to the amount of hydrocarbon pollution produced when one
big jet takes off, pollution produced by LBC's over their entire
useful life is negligible.
