    Author: Carlton RF.
    Journal: Ann Clin Lab Sci; 1976; 6(5):411-4. PubMed ID: 970926.
    Abstract:
    Twelve cases of death due to fluorocarbon inhalation have been seen in a four year period 1971-1975. The source of the material has been commercial spray cans. The postmortem examinations are nonspecific, but a history of excitement or sudden death is often elicited. Confirmation of the cause of death was made by demonstration of a halogenated hydrocarbon in the blood by gas chromatography.
