Phosgene inhalation may cause initially symptoms of respiratory tract irritation, patients feel fine thereafter, and then die of choking a day later because of build up of fluid in the lungs (delayed onset non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). Phosgene exposure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
That's for a light exposure, right?

High exposure i think

How long does it take for phosgene gas to work?
Following exposure to high concentrations of phosgene, a person may develop fluid in the lungs within two to six hours. Other effects that may appear up to 48 hours after contact, even if the person feels better or appears well, include the following: difficulty breathing. coughing up white to pink-tinged fluid.

Not necessarily. A small dose exposure of phosgene CAN kill you, in the right concentration and it really depends on how much you truly inhale deep into your lungs. Not easy to measure that ,in hindsight.
