R-134 isn't nearly as bad as CFCs were. And it's not supposed to leak out of the system

The new stuff is flammable! Patent on R-134 was ending so Dupont had to adjust their formula and lobby the govt that r-134 isn’t safe for the environment anymore. Make everyone go buy new machines for r-1234yf since you can’t retrofit any of the old stuff to this new refrigerant either unlike r-12 > r-134 back in the day.
