This study assessed the level of implementation
of CFCs and HCFCs Montreal Protocol by Refrigeration
and Air conditioning practitioners in Benue State. The
population of the study comprised of 50 practitioners of
refrigeration and air conditioning across the state. A
descriptive survey research design was used for the study.
The instrument for data collection was a structured
questionnaire and data collected was analyzed using
descriptive statistics to ascertain the extent to which
practitioners in Benue State have implemented CFCs and
HCFCs Montreal protocol. The result of the study
revealed that refrigeration and air conditioning
practitioners in Benue State are aware of CFCs and
HCFCs effect on Ozone layer depletion but they are not
able to recover and store CFC and HCFC Refrigerants
from old refrigerating systems when carrying out repairs.
The study recommended among others that refresher
trainings should be organized for practitioners.
