The standard gas mixture (Ar/isoC{sub 4}H{sub 10}/CF{sub 3}Br) used for RPCs contains several percent of CF{sub 3}Br(Haron1301) as quenching agent. CF{sub 3}Br is known to destroy the atmospheric ozone layer. For this reason its use is discouraged, and prohibited by law in the near future. C{sub 2}F{sub 6}(FC116) and C{sub 2}H{sub 2}F{sub 4}(HFC134A) seem to be an ideal candidate from an environment point of view since its ozone depletion potential is very low. We present the results of a test performance on RPC (glass) operating with non-ozone depletion freon gas and butane-silver.
