FM-200 is safe for human presence in case of discharge but it might cause coldburns. While CO2 with high concentration that required to suppress a fire; will cause an inhalation for any living liver their.

If the analysis is based on the use of both in automatic fire suppression systems, some of the differences are listed below.

- Cost: CO2 based systems are cost effective when compared to FM200 based systems.

- Design: The design of CO2 based systems is much more simpler than the FM200 system.

- Safety: For manned zone/room(s) FM200 based systems are recommended due to the hazardous nature of CO2 against human safety.
