Dear Mr. Bradley,

I commend your interest in helping to alert the public to this potential
danger, however such statements should contain correct information to ensure
this isn't just some fearmonger trying to make themself (in)famous. The
dangerous compound you cite, dichlorodifluorocarbonmonoxide (Cl2F2CO) does
not exist because it can't- no such compound can have such a chemical
structure! Perhaps this is an error- if so please state what the correct
compound is. Furthermore, there is no website listed to verify your
statement or claims. Please make sure to list the website URL you refer to
so others like myself can research this claim for ourselves.

Best regards,
Paul Shin, Ph.D. (Chemistry)
