WELDERS PAY ATTENTION!!!!!
saw this in the 09 and up forum figured it would be a good thing to have here as well, thanks to D8chumley
Brake Cleaner = Phosgene Article
I posted this article back a few months ago down in the diesel forum, just came across it again so I figured I'd post it here. If it saves one person this grief it was worth it. I learned about it in an MSHA class I took for work.

Good advise....does not matter if its 'old news' or a repost. A lot of people don't know this (myself included). You've certainly saved some people from this by posting. Thank you for this!

It is news to me too. I'm very careful almost all the time, but i will take even more care now when using any of these products.

I agree with you here. Even though it has been posted before there are newbies here that my not be aware. When it comes to safety related issues there in no such thing as old news in my opinion.

wow, truly scary!! i guess the fact that i only own a stick welder is responsible for my still being alive!!
it always has been that waste brakekleen goes into the same bin as waste oil, which sometimes goes into the fire... starting today that won't be the case any longer. hydrogen chloride is bad enough, don't want to know how much of that i've caught over the years in small doses, i can't imagine getting that other substance (whatever it was called, the one that almost killed him)!
repost or not, i hadn't seen it, and i'm sure this'll save me from myself once i get another welder!
