There a story somewhere about a welder who cleaned off/de-greased metal with brake fluid. He used a MIG or TIG welder and the gas plus brake fluid plug heat from the torch/electrode created phosgene gas. Just a tiny puff but he breathed it in and it affected him terribly; organ damage, disabled. I think he's off on disability.
The story seems to come from Journal of Accident and Emergency Medicine, 12 pp212-213 (1995)) as noted by https://www.isystemsweb.com/phosgene-gas/ https://www.isystemsweb.com/phosgene-gas/
