Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

R-744 is seen as the 'perfect' natural refrigerant as it is climate neutral and there is not a flammability or toxicity risk. It is rated as an A1 from ASHRAE. While it is non-toxic there is still risk if a leak occurs in an enclosed area as R-744 will displace the oxygen in the room and could cause asphyxiation
