Re: [xj-s] Re: A/C convert to R134a

Harry,
Our ER dept recently went through Hazardous Materials training for
decontamination of patients who are involved in chemical spills....
According to the instructors Phosgene is one of the nerve gases utilized in
chemical warfare (read Iraq) and truly is deadly to humans. 
I believe its and anticholinesterase in the body such as most nerve gases. 
Nevertheless I think a fire needs to be present for it to be produced...  
therefore if your car is on fire and you decide to remain in it (such as
the horse in a burning barn) then you may be at risk.. a normal person
probably wouldn't make the same choice!!!  I plan on converting my Jag to
r-134a when I get the time since my AC died this spring, but my choice is a
matter of convenience of supplies and parts.... 
sorry so long... rambling this AM...
Michael A. "m.d.a.@SoftHome.net"

93 Altima (black) spouse has it at work....
91 Plymouth Spirit (borrowed!!!)

fire), or what my instructor in Air Force tech school termed, "Deadly"
phosgene gas. They always emphasized the "Deadly" part.
