Is the stuff inside the fire extinguisher dangerous to breathe in?
I used an ABC fire extinguisher yesterday and am coughing really bad today. Could be a coincidence.
ABC multipurpose dry chemical is typciallaly monoamonium phosphate. An irrirant to say the least. All the M.S.D.S. information says in case of accidental inhalation: remove to fresh air, if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
If you felt better afterwards, but now are coughing, you are right in that it COULD be a coincidence. Why not check with your doctor’s office and see what they think.
Here’s the MSDS on the stuff…

If it makes you feel any better, I work at a facility that recharges the stuff and have breathed in the stuff too many times to count. I hate the smell, and yes, it makes you cough. But I haven’t had any major problems afterwards. (I laugh as I say that, watch me die of lung cancer in 10 years.)
Good luck. Check out any persistant cough with your doctor.
