Exposure To Phosgene In A Pregnant Mother Cause Delayed Development In Child?
My sister’s child is 1 year old and not crawling, walking, standing. Her a/c went out when she was pregnant and Freon and phosgene were in her home. They replaced the unit, but stayed in the home….Her child looks normal and healthy, but does not seem to be meeting her milestones.

freon, chlorofluorocarbon not the best to breath, who really knows of the long term exposure risks. short term I would not sweat it. but the phosgene? freon needs to come into contact with a flame or hot metal to produce the horrible phosgene gas. the gas is is inhaled and produces hydrochloric in the lungs and carbon monoxide. you know there are some pretty bad chemicals but with the little bit of exposure I dont really see any developmental problems occurring. And the effects from the chemicals should be very noticeable. I could be wrong here but the phosgene would make you choke real good. And the freon would make you pretty high. with both of these chemicals at the level in which damage would be happening the effects would be very noticeable. If your worried about the child try some stimulation to maybe get the child going a little. TUBBIES! later

I think this can happen

These gases are not very good for you; I’m surprised your sister was not advised to leave. I trust your sister has a pediatricin who is following the child and can advise. Beware of shark lawyers who say “of course” so they can sue someone, get some money from someone to get the lawyer off their backs, and then keep 1/3 of it.
