Halons are very stable gases, even if not without side effects. Or sulfur hexafluoride. The problem with halons is that they aren't friendly to fire, and fluorides may decompose and produce hydrogen fluoride, which is a beast of hell and you most definitely don't want in an atmosphere. Radon would be good if it wasn't radioactive, and a gaseous alpha emitter is a nasty customer. | |

It is also the way I originally intended to go and probably still will. This question is more or less part of me trying to find a way to not having to introduce a new element/invent something in order to make everything work :) | |
