FYI: Halon is not poisonous gas; it simply displaces the oxygen and will
not support combustion itself. You can breath it, you just won't get any
oxygen either. I used these things in automatic systems in the
communication shacks along the Alaskan Pipeline. I believe they may be
phased out now because they halon is a fluorocarbon and fell into the ozone
layer legistration.
