Hazards from the World Health Organization file on Phosgene
Paint removers and non-flammable dry cleaning solvents (e.g.,
carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, tri- and tetrachloroethylene and
methylene chloride) should never be used in closed areas in the
presence of fire or heaters of any kind since they can decompose to
phosgene.
One other source mentions burning PVC as a possible source of Phosgene.
Comment:
Injuries from Phosgene exposure are typically limited to the mucous membranes of the mouth, lung, sinuses and eyes. Phosgene decomposes when exposed to the moist mucosa and does not distribute through the body to a significant amount. (WHO)
The additional reactions cited by the author i.e. Tremors/seizure, kidney dysfunction, pancreas/insulin dysfunction, etc. are not reported as being associated with Phosgene exposure. They may represent prior existing conditions or perhaps resulted from other chemicals in the mishap environment.
