Other agents such as CO 2 and FE-36 (HFC-236fa) wet chemical are largely replacing halon 1301 for environmental concerns. Civilian models in 2-3/4, 3, and 4 lb sizes were also made.
Halon 1211 is also a potent greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential 2,070 times that of carbon dioxide and an atmospheric lifetime of 16.0 years. [6] Recycling of Halon 1211 allows it to remain in use, [7] [8] although parts availability is limited to a few manufacturers and can be an issue. Halon 1211 is still widely used in ...
Halon 1301 total flooding systems are typically used at concentrations no higher than 7% by volume in air, and can suppress many fires at 2.9% v/v.

Carbon dioxide can cause severe ...
