inhalation of dry chemical fire exstinguishers bad??r=1217960856
me and my wife were cleaning our garage and a dry chem fire extinguisher fell and started spraying. my wife inhaled a little bit and 3 days later she swears its the reason she has a head cold. that stuff has to be non toxic right?
It does not have to be non-toxic, but if it IS toxic, the effect would be worse than a head cold, and usually a lot faster than 3 days.
If it is toxic, it will say so right on the canister, with instructions in case of accidental inhalation or ingestion. Check the extinguisher immediately, and then follow up from there based upon what it says.
