Fluorine refrigerants poisoning is also known as:

　　coolant poisoning

　　Freon poisoning

　　HFC poisoning‌

　　Sudden Death Syndrome

　　Fluorine refrigerants are chemicals that come in liquid or gaseous form. While it's usually carefully packaged to prevent the risk of injury or death, accidents do happen. Get emergency medical attention right away if you inhale or ingest fluorine refrigerants of any kind. The hazards of poisoning by fluorine refrigerants are serious.

　　Freon, commonly used in fluorine refrigerants and coolants, is colorless and smells like freshly mowed grass. Freon describes several possible mixtures of chemicals - including fluorine, carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and bromine.

　　Please understand that this article is only intended to introduce you to the poisoning of fluorine refrigerants. While there may be some home remedies that can improve your symptoms and prevent damage, you must get checked out by a medical professional.

　　Acute fluorine refrigerants poisoning. When you have acute poisoning, it means your exposure to fluorine refrigerants is short-term. It can happen in a single event and is usually highly concentrated. Accidental exposure usually occurs when your air conditioning or refrigeration system fails and causes a leak.

　　Chronic fluorine refrigerants poisoning. Chronic toxicity occurs when you are repeatedly exposed to fluorine refrigerants chemicals for prolonged periods. Common in occupations where technicians work with machinery daily. If you use heavy equipment using fluorine refrigerants, make sure the leak detector and monitoring system are working properly and adequately.

　　Flammability of fluorine refrigerants. Solutions used in air conditioners and refrigerators are often made of gas and are highly flammable. Leaked fluorine refrigerants can ignite and explode if you are near a heat source. This could cause serious damage. Flammability is dangerous because fluorine refrigerants can be a clear vapor that you cannot identify.

　　Toxicity of fluorine refrigerants. Toxicity refers to the damage that fluorine refrigerants can cause when ingested. Your fluorine refrigerants solution may have a label telling you the exposure limit. While no exposure is considered safe, low levels of exposure may reduce health risks.
