...According to Dr. Hawkins, these safety properties, coupled with the performance of AF-M315E, were "absolutely outstanding; we found the oral toxicity of AF-M315E to be less than that of caffeine, and its vapor toxicity to be negligible. The vapor flammability of AF-M315E was essentially nil, and this made it difficult to unexpectedly ignite and sustain combustion of AF-M315Eone could even put out small fires with the propellant!"
