Freon is not Toxic, but its not good to breath it or have extended contact with it on the skin. It is a controlled EPA substance. Some are Flammable and have other properties like 410A which is a mixed blend of Freon/Purion. Under pressure 410a is one liquid but outside of the system the Freon components separate and become to different chemicals.

Can freon hurt you if you breath it in?
In small amounts, no. Freon is not toxic. But, it displaces oxygen. So, if you have a high enough concentration of freon in the air you breathe, you actually asphyxiate (lack of oxygen to the brain) rather than being poisoned................

Can you get freon poisoning from your air conditioner?
No. Freon is non-toxic, but one can suffocate from breathing Freon, just as one might suffocate from breathing carbon dioxide and not getting fresh air within 10-30 seconds, or so. Freon's lack of toxicity is precisely why it revolutionized refrigeration, particularly in the home, in the 1930s.
What type of refrigerant do air conditioners use and how toxic is it?
The types are: ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons like methane, methyl chloride, and methylene chloride, the freon and genetron and the water. The ammonia is the worst because can kill you, is the most toxic, the sulfur dioxide is corrosive and can injure plants but not to you, only is you breath it for a time, the hydrocarbons are not toxic like freon and genetron, and the water that is other refrigerant but is innocuous.

What type of freon is required in a 2001 Chevrolet silverado?
Source: wikipedia as a 'freon wiki' search in Google (0.08 seconds)Freon is DuPont's trade name for its odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and noncorrosive chlorofluorocarbon and hydrochlorofluorocarbon refrigerants, which are used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Freon was initially developed in the early 20th century as an alternative to the toxic gases that were previously used as refrigerants, such as ammonia, chloromethane, and sulfur dioxide. Freon, in this case dichlorodifluoromethane, was invented by Thomas Midgley, Jr. with co-inventor Charles Kettering.[1] Each Freon product is designated by a number; for instance, Freon-11 is trichlorofluoromethane, while Freon-12 is dichlorodifluoromethane. In the 1990s, most uses of Freon were phased out due to the negative effects that chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons have on the Earth's ozone layer.Thus, Freon has not been used in auto A/C's since the mid 90's. The current refrigerant used is R-134a (NOT Freon, although people may casually and incorrectly refer to it as such).In case you're curious, the DuPont trade name for R-134a is Suva.
