[Freon decomposition products include phosgene]
Well, it's a tangled mess. There are many different chemicals which
have been sold under the Freon name. Mr. Brown may have confused any
of these with Halon, another large family of fluorocarbons which
*have* been used for fire suppression,

Possibly Dan Brown used freon where he should have used halon.
Possibly: it wouldn't be the first time he used terminology glibly to
