- neilv 8y agoR-134a is just one of the possibilities in duster gas, [1] but none of them are great to be inhaling. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster
- Reason077 8y agoR134a is being phased out in automotive AC systems due to its high global warming potential. It’s being replaced by R1234yf, and in the newest systems, CO2 (aka R744). I would hope it’s not being used unnecessarily as an aerosol in things like air dusters!
- userbinator 8y agoThe danger is that it's an asphyxiant --- like most other gases. Otherwise it is inert, which is why it is used. Inhaling a small quantity such as from a dose of an inhaler would not be harmful.
