I call BS on this. Sure, phosgene is nasty stuff. It was used for chemical warfare in WWI, but it is a far cry from the nerve agents used in WWII that could kill in moments in small quantities. Phosgene is just noxious and corrosive. Likewise chlorine. A small puff, as described in this story isn't going to result in kidney failure and all that. It's exaggerated, or the guy was in bad shape to begin with - something is missing. That said, chlorinated solvents should be avoided due to their being possible carcinogens. They are great solvents, both for car parts and human parts. They are are fat soluble and will go thru your skin and linger inside you. I'm a chemist btw.
