Very scary...........or what you don't know about this EV issue

That stuff is innocuous next to what fighters use in the event of a flame-out. Hydrazine I think it is and what's said of it is if an amount smaller even than a pin head contacts skin. cancer will ensue. Not maybe, but will.
The MOD and RAF never answer questions as to its use but it's known that pilots practice relighting flamed-out engines in flight. Over land or water I wouldn't know but safe to assume that an amount no matter how small escapes to atmosphere during the process before ignition is achieved.

Interesting..... but nothing I can find online back's that up. Its not harmful as a vapour in the air and is only classified as "probable human carcenogen" after long term contact. Its actually used to TREAT some cancers.

Not so long ago I owned a twin engine sports boat powered by twin diesel engines.The automatic fire extinguisher system was Haylon gas.

For civilians this system was banned a few years ago. Disposal in Worcestershire was to take to gas cylinder the main council tip for expert disposal.

I gave the cylinder to the council expert , disposal method used was open the gas valve and run !

The issue with Halon and Freon 1301 fire extinguishers is that both gases deplete the Ozone layer, which is why they are no longer in general use in spite of their effectiveness. Halon was used in aviation and Freon was used by the military (in armoured vehicles, from memory), but I am not sure if that's still the case.

We have Inergen in our lab - it’s clever in that it reduces oxygen to levels low enough to stop combustion but not so low that you can’t breathe. I still wouldn’t like to be in the protected part of the lab when it deploys mind.

Halon flood systems used to be common in machine rooms (where computers and peripherals were sited). The shift leader was responsible for making sure everyone was out first.
