Homer Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Got a face full of this stuff earlier today splitting some AC pipes, as well as my hands and arms covered in the liquid. Chest hurts a little bit now and can constantly smell AC gas so just wondered if this stuff is bad for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Oh yes, it is nasty nasty stuff, it depends on how much you inhaled but it can be dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASHTHEBISHOP Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 If its the newer stuff R134a? you should be fine. If its the old stuff and your asthmatic it can be bad for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 The old R12(?) is VERY bad (carcinogenic ?) IIRC all Supras run R134a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 The system was fully pressured so I would expect it's been topped up fairly recently. Will drop by the docs if the chest still hurts tomorrow Cheers guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P 17EED Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Its got pollen in it, so if you suffer with hayfever it will effect that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Be careful it may make your hair fall out So long as the chest air doesn't drop out thats not a concern Git Its got pollen in it, so if you suffer with hayfever it will effect that Seriously? I do suffer from hayfever, nose and eyes were streaming after getting back from the yard (normally it's pretty mild). Must have inhaled some of it then!

Guest DevilsAdvocate Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 FFS, you guys want to spend 30 years working in Power Stations. A few CFC's would be the least of your worries. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJButler Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Try running on the spot to see if your nuts ice up. If they do get your frozen ass to the Docs quick:d:d:d:d:d Seriusly Mate you should seek advice if it was an accident at work so you are covered if any ill effects show up later.
