Phosgene gas exposure can be very deadly without you even knowing until it is too late. The most common way of being exposed to phosgene is brazing where refrigerant is present. Freon is a hcfc which when in contact with extreme heat puts off the phosgene gas. This gas can kill you rapidly if exposed to 50ppm especially if it was inhaled. You may experience tighting of the chest and your throat feeling like it is burning. See a physcian if exposure is thought to have happened. If you have a leak in a refrigerant line reclaim all refrigerant before fixing leak or you might face DEATH.

How do you change a 1987 Toyota Camry air conditioner compressor?
If you are not familiar with thr compound gas freon, you really shouldn't try any changes on the system yourself. There's not enough space to explain the process. lets just say that a spark changes freon to phosgene (a deadly gas) in seconds!!!!

because it was effective
What was the name of the most common poison gas during ww1?

How do you flush freon out of ac?
It is probably illegal for you to do this yourself, due to the nature of the refrigerant used. For your own safety, call a professional. They have the special tools and knowledge needed to do it right. If your ac uses true freon call a professional. Freon is a CFC which depletes the ozone layer. They have special equipment to recover and handle it. If not, or if you are h*ll bent on doing it yourself, you can rent the equipment to remove refrigerent from your system. This is the best option for non freon systems, as you can then have it disposed of and you don't have to risk inhaling it by releasing it into the atmosphere. If you release the gas directly you risk frostbite from exposure, asphyxiation from buildup, and the refrigerent can decompose into toxic chemicals from heat and flame. (R12 decomposes into phosgene which was used as a war gas.)
