You can also get chronic bronchitis from burning vinyl floor tile, which is where I got into it. Paid my way thru undergrad school...

Phosgene is also called mustard gas.
Burning refrigerant will produce this also.

Tri-cholethelyne is a similar cleaning agent. Navy banned it for shipboard use in the early '70s due to health hazards.

Remember the early Teflon non-stick pan coatings?? And, the special tools needed when cooking with Teflon pans??

When burned, the early Teflon coatings did create phosgene gas.

They still will create a gas thats very similar to phosgene. Normal cooking temps with teflon can / will kill your pet birds.
