Freon is a trade name that has been associated with a variety of compounds and blends typically used in refrigeration systems. Several of the compounds have been associated with the ozone layer problem and are being phased out.

Too much of anything is not a good thing and "Freon" will displace air in the room suffocating the occupants. Fortunately there is not near enough in any typical home to cause that problem.

Several of the "Freon" compounds have been used for many years as propellants for things like spray paint, furniture polish and even Albuterol inhalers used for Asthma. As an ingredient in a pharmaceutical it obviously has been very well evaluated regarding the impact on human health.

So in my opinion it is Safe!
