LANSDALE, Pa. -- The Climate Protection Partnership division of the U.S. EPA has partnered with the Mobile Air Conditioning Society (MACS) Worldwide to offer monthly informational Webinars throughout 2010, focused on environmental best practices for servicing mobile A/C systems and demystifying current and proposed regulations.

The next free Webinar is Thursday, June 10 at 1pm EDT and will cover New California Mobile A/C Service Rules. Tao Zhan, PhD, air resources engineer, Climate Change Mitigation and Emissions Research Section Research Division, will be the guest speaker.

This Webinar will introduce the relevant parts of California's upcoming new low-emission vehicle standards and a current rule on small cans of HFC-134a. The potential impact of these regulations on the mobile A/C service industry will also be discussed. It is important to be aware of environmental regulations proposed in California because the state often leads environmental regulation for the rest of the country. 

EPA field enforcement will be the topic of the free July Webinar. The date and additional details will be available soon. EPA field enforcement personnel will be the guest speakers.

You can register now for the free June and July Webinars in one of three ways. Visit this link to register directly for the Webinars, or e-mail Pam Smith at pam@macsw.org or call 215-631-7020 x 306.
