While the names for an element may vary in different languages, it will always have the same Symbol. (see related link for the Periodic Table) FREON is a patented trade name for refrigerants produced by the DuPont corporation, all of which are "fluorocarbons" or "hydrofluorocarbons" belonging to the class of compounds known as "haloalkenes". It contains the "halogen" elements Chlorine (Cl), Fluorine (F), as well as the element Carbon (C). == Freon, a common refrigerant, is not an element. It's not a compound, either. It is a mixture of compounds. "Freon" ® is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont). * Freon: any one of several different chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which are used in commerce and industry. The CFCs are a group of aliphatic organic compounds containing the elements carbon and fluorine, and, in many cases, other halogens (especially chlorine) and hydrogen. Freons are colorless, odorless, nonflammable, noncorrosive gases or liquids. * Any of several chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that are used in commerce and industry.

No. There is a very small chance you could get Freon poisoning if you got some of it on you but the recipe for Freon had changed for health reasons so most forms are harmless.

Cooling your house, or standing in front of it to cool off will not harm you.
