It is too bad that they banned R-12. It has much better cooling characteristics than R-22, and R-410. R-12 will break down into phosgene gas if burned.
I guess they are in the process of phasing out the production of R-22 by 2010 and R-410 will be the new refrigerant.

IIRC phosgene will hydrolyze into hydrochloric acid in the lungs.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
