Résumé

Increasing temperatures lead to human mortality directly, by means of physiological response to extreme heat but also indirectly due to drought, flooding, famine, disease, wildfires, infrastructure disruption, conflict, etc. Numerous studies have attempted to quantify the mortality risk of the various individual consequences of climate change as well as the overall impact. Emissions of fluorinated refrigerants, as used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems, make a notable contribution to current and future warming and therefore some proportion of the overall mortality can be attributed to those refrigerants. Alternative refrigerants include hydrocarbons, which have negligible global warming potentials and provided they are correctly selected, can provide lower energy consumption. However, their higher flammability introduces an additional hazard which can also lead to fatalities. This study compares the climate-related mortality risk of HFCs with the flammability fatality risk of hydrocarbon refrigerants in order to determine whether their adoption can benefit society.
