← TechnologyWhich behavior results when a refrigerant with high global warming potential (GWP) leaks into the atmosphere?
A)Increased stratospheric ozone depletion
B)Accelerated tropospheric temperature increase✓
C)Decreased radiative forcing efficiency
D)Reduced photochemical smog formation
💡 Explanation
When high-GWP refrigerant leaks, radiative forcing increases because infrared radiation is absorbed more efficiently, causing increased energy retention leading to warming. Therefore accelerated temperature increase results, rather than ozone depletion reduction or reduced smog, requiring alternate chemical reactions.
