Chem E (aka plumber with a diploma) here. Phosgene is scarily common as a precursor for so many useful things like polycarbonate and polyurethane plastics. The leak trap systems on those kind of production plants are insane.

I remember a near miss at a fab that I worked on the accident report for. The tech was a new guy who was changing out a cartridge filter in the ultra pure water system. He had not actually been trained on this, and was taking initiative to do a little extra.
The filter is a cylinder about the diameter of a basketball and ~3-4 feet long, located at about head height and installed so just the round end is visible. Said technician didn't properly depressurize the system, and while attempting to remove it the filter shot out and missed his head by an inch or two. One of the engineers did the math on how much force it was moving with, and it was an absurd amount I can't remember. Suffice it to say, had it hit him it would have turned all his bones into confetti and would not have been survivable.

bone confetti is so much more visceral, though. like... bones are not supposed to be that. meat confetti is something we could experience as part of food prep.

Can someone help me remember something correctly?

I seem to remember a discussion on here involving phosgene and phosphine and possibly other nasty chemicals being used as precursors in chemical production, despite being essentially ww1 chemical weapons. I seem to remember the one turning into the other under this or that condition, but looking up those chemicals on wikipedia I'm thinking I must be misremembering, because they don't seem to have much in common.

I seem to remember a USCSB video making the rounds at the same time. Maybe this one that deals with phosgene, but that doesn't mention any phosphine.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or have I just dreamed it?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're thinking of, but at lot of refrigerants, especially the older CFC ones like R22 will degrade into phosgene when exposed to a flame.
Which happens quite often as you have to braze the copper pipes together and well, sometimes not all the gas has quite gotten out despite your best efforts.

I know that happened to me once when I was repairing a leaking refrigerant pipe and a hold back valve let go and started letting out a steady stream of refrigerant.
It made my lungs burn so bad and I was dry heaving for a while, and that was only a few ounces. I felt awful the next day as well

I can only imagine what it must have been like to be enveloped in a cloud of that back in WW1, that has to be one of the worst ways to die.

Semiconductor fabs use all sorts of wonderful chemicals and gasses. Silane, Phosphine, Arsine, Diborane gas are all commonly used and want you to die and/or explode.

I remember touring one of the facilities under construction and remarking how odd it was that there were a series of very small diameter pipes overhead on what appeared to be a seriously overbuilt elevated raceway.
Big concrete foundations and thick steel structures, it looked like a railroad trestle.

The engineer showing me around told me that one of those little bitty pipes up ran from the gas pad and was full of silane gas. I learned some new chemical terms that day, including "pyrophoric" :supaburn:

Yes, most of the fun gasses were run in double wall pipes with a partial vacuum in the outer pipe. The vacuum point also had a gas sensor so if anything broke it would alarm out and the facility would evacuate. The neat bit about the gas storage was the very, very thick wall between it and the rest of the facility and the very thin outer wall and roof.

I don't remember which thread it was in but I saw something about it recently with pictures of the large straight line they were bulldozing through the landscape

e: also I did a bunch of drawings and modeling for wet benches at one point and have been wondering all day how the drains were set up that anyone though they could do meaningful maintenance on them. They're basins with valves underneath and everything else is to keep operators away from pressurized drain lines wtf
