Freon is about 4 times heavier than air, so it is going to sink to the floor initially, though it is highly volatile and will disperse rapidly. What this means is that the closer to the floor that you are, the more Freon you are likely to breathe in. This is a concern especially for children and pets, children because they are smaller and thus require smaller doses for acute effects to occur, and pets, especially dogs, because they are more sensitive to the heart sensitizing effects of Freon than humans are.
but honestly does any household have a refrigerator or freezer in their their homes that would emit enough freon at one time to any harm to a child or animal??? and if it would then that child or animal had their faces at the point of rupture & couldn't move away from it , PLEASEEEEEEEE......joe
