It has been and continues to be used precisely because it can be used in

want to stay there for an extended time after discharge.  Best to go to
the website and read the many good articles posted there which explain
all this stuff.   All I know is what I have read.  I do believe that the
folks who have responded about danger to humans being sufficient that
use of Halon is "unsafe" need to read more.

        Hear Hear, Virg.  The object of HALON was to flood buildings with
        it and yet allow humans to escape in a breathable atmosphere while
        extinguishing  the fire. The Chlorine controversy pulled it off
        the market.
