Question 1

breathing a freon leak is it bad for you and was not told to leave the building for 30 min.it was like a cloud in the building?

Accepted Answer

Sorry it happened: You should be fine, though. The stuff is famously non-reactive and the major danger in a leak like this is that it would displace oxygen. It's also a popular recreational inhalant especially among young people, who seem to tolerate it well -- not that it's a good idea. I'm really glad it wasn't something worse.
