Detoxification of Halon Fire-Extinguishant ProductsAmmonia compounds absorb toxic hydrogen halides as they are produced. Toxic acid vapors resulting from use of Halon (or equivalent) fire extinguishers immediately changed into nontoxic ammonium compounds when extinguishers contain some ammonia or ammonium carbonate. If ammonium carbonate used, particle size of resulting neutral compounds controlled to eliminate virtually any absorption into the lungs.
