The aerosol will be the least of their problems. While the aerosol may cause minor mucous membrane irritation at high concentrations (over 100gr./m3) or if there is long exposure, the combustion products and heat of a fire can be, and often are, deadly. In a real world fire scenario the by-products and composition of the aerosol are insignificant relative to those of a fire. At a 50 gr./m3 density the gas products of the aerosol are many orders of magnitude less than that allowed for automobile airbag systems. However, the DSPA-5 should not be thrown close (2 mtr.) to the victim as it emits a hot cloud of aerosol close to the unit.
