There is more than one "halon" with differing proportions of carbon
,chlorine , fluorine , bromine and iodine.
Perhaps they're not totally banned but being phased out. Certainly
considered to be harmful to the ozone layer.
So if halon is
really so benign, why did they ban it?
There's a big difference between "directly harmful to humans" and
"damages the ozone layer".
