Any amount would be a contamination. Charging with clean R410a does not introduce POA oil, which is where a serious contamination would occur. Mixing R410a without oil will simply render that amount of charge in your system as ineffective. To answer the question how much contaminates, it could be seen on a sliding scale, a very small amount, say a couple ounces, probably will not see a noticeable change. A pound, and you would likely notice some changes in performance related to temps. of evaporator as well as the amount of liquid refrigerant its producing to send to the evaporator. As you increase the ratio of R410a to R22, you would only see incrementally worse performance as the compressor is not producing the pressure required to get any use of R410a. If you had somehow introduced R410a with its oil, their would be a serious reason to pull the entire charge, flush the system, and start clean. The oils of R22 and R410a are %100 not mixable, they will be rendered useless, and system damage will occur shortly.

Can you mix 410 freon with r22 freon?

Absolutely not ... R410 operates at much higher pressures than R22, and mixing would do nothing but contaminate both refrigerants (and possibly mess up your system)

How much bacteria can contaminate the surface of a fomite?

The amount of bacteria that can contaminate a fomite (inanimate object) depends on various factors such as the type of surface, the duration of contamination, and the presence of other organic materials. Fomites can harbor enough bacteria to cause infections if they are not cleaned regularly and properly.

How much water does one liter of diesel contaminate?

One liter of diesel fuel can contaminate up to 1 million liters of water. This severe level of contamination occurs because diesel is hydrophobic and does not dissolve in water, leading to the formation of a thin film on the water's surface. This film can harm aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems even at very low concentrations. Thus, even small spills can have significant environmental impacts.
