In a condensed form, it's thought to be a mild neurotoxin... creating headaches, etc... but those results were never conclusively duplicated in a lab setting, insofar as I recollect.

Deforestation, ozone destruction due to CFC's, Global Warming, Impending Ice Ages (spurred on, in fact, by Global Warming), and Soil Erosion concerns all have a firm scientific and factual basis, and should be something that we all consider as we progress technologically, imho.
