If you burn the refrigerant gas freon you get phosgene as a byproduct. Phosgene was used as a chemical weapon in WWI (military designation CG) and there is no antidote for those exposed to it. Freon would be just as difficult to manufacture post-Twilight War as any other chlorofluorocarbons but existing stocks could conceivably be used to create ad hoc chemical weapons.
