Fire suppression

From: Norman E. Muller <*nmuller*> Date: Monday, June 4, 2001 · nmuller

I have heard that the fire suppressant FM200, when burned, emits
hydrofluoric acid.  Can someone comment on this, please.  We had
been considering using this here at The Art Museum, Princeton
University, when reinstalling one of our storage areas, but this
information is disturbing, if true.

At the present time, what is considered the best and safest system
to use?
