halon- full inhalation

on the subject I got back when I was working with the stuff in
the computer industry.

That is the same info as I had from the few halon extinguishers to which
I
have had access when I worked on electronic equipment, and also when
recently studying for a refrigerant license. There are actually a number
of
halons; so that specific information, such as an MSDS, might require a
little information from the label on the extinguisher. With that as a
starting point, the rest is only a Google (or Yahoo) search away.

Yes I understand that from all of the info I've read that are a few
different
numbers that exist for HALON. I believe 1211 is the right one.
What exaclty did you get out of your prior stuff from what you typed here?
Is there anything that you reaad that describes what it does if you inhale
it
directly? I have found nothing in all the sites I've gone to that has
anything on my deal...I only found the same for being confined and the
experiments on men and some raats and dogs. nothing I mean nothing on my
same deal. I have alot of sites that were given to me from a guy in the
EPA.
He had never even heard of HALON. Go figure. Thanks for getting back to
me. I
wish I knew what the effects of it were, because I think I suffer from it.
I
would like to know if I had a chance to bring it to the work comp jerks in
my
area.
Thaks again for the reply, I appreciate!! Talk later, Angie B.


The following are the information which I could readily locate, with the aid
of my copy of a study guide for refrigerants--followed by a Google search.

Halon 1301 is another name for Refrigerant 13B1 a/ka/ CBrF3
http://environmentalchemistry.com/yo...uoromethane.ht
ml
and a related MSDS can be viewed at
http://www.mathesontrigas.com/pdfs/msds/MAT24070.pdf


Halon 1211 is another name for Refrigerant 12B1 a/ka/ CBrClF2
and a related MSDS is available as a halon at
http://www.wfrfire.com/website/msds/halon.htm
and as a refrigerant at
http://www1.boc.com/uk/sds/special/r12b1.pdf

Please bear in mind that both of these chemicals are classified as both
refrigerants and fire suppressants, although the Bromine containing variants
may not receive significant use as refrigerants. In any case, there may be
two versions of the MSDS in each case.

Also, as suggested elsewhere in this thread, there may be similarity between
burns and frostbite--so the personnel at the nearest burn center may be able
to point you in a usefull direction; and in the event that pressure was a
factor, there may also be a decompression center with personnel who have
some usefull information. It is reasonable to suppose that the personnel in
each of those specialties will know the names of the other related
specialties, which certainly exceeds my knowledge, and they amy also be able
to recommend practitioners nearby.

Let us all know of your progress,
Peter

WOW! You are certainly awsome! Thank you for all the info. You have supplied
me with so much info that I am more than gracious. Also because others will
read this, more also came from others, as seen in this thread. Thank you all
so much. I am going to investigate the links you gave me here, Thank You
Peter. Talk later. Angie.
