respirator is probably a good idea too no? i always wear one when i break those lines. fridge, ac etc i dont like the idea of breathing that **** either.

I hope your not venting that crap into the air, reclaim it properly please.

dude managed to blast himself in the eyeball with it. obviously accidents happen i would always rather be safe then bleeding/blinded/ otherwise in danger. i wear my respirator to avoid breathing ANY. 90% of the hvac i deal with has already leaked out over time functional units i sell but the odd time i have to deal with a system that is still charged with green goo and gas

Don't know how it is in Canada, but in the US it's illegal to release refrigerant. I believe that's partly what Mech was driving at.
