I am ignorant as to whether or not any gases or other obnoxious fumes could possibly permeate the air and "poison" anyone using said bedroom. Please inform so I can relax or warn me so I can take actions. Thanking you in anticipation.

No danger, just a humming noise. I have had a small chest freezer in my spare room for 6 years....no problems so far.

I slept in a room with an upright freezer for about 5 years while I was living at home with my parents. There is absolutely no danger. If it leaks any gases, the freezer will stop working. I would not worry about it at all.

The short answer is you're safe.
The long answer is that older freezers contain a gas called freon which although isn't dangerous is a "greenhouse" gas because it's lighter than air. If you're concerned check out the link below

the freezer acts as a heater for the room . there is no danger at all from the freezer ,even if the fumes came out they are not a hazzard

If your that worried it might be usefull to note that by law now all such items are the responsability of your council to safely disspose of, there are free tips, or it will cost £6 to pick up one item from your house.
Are obnoxious fumes the really annoying ones? Lol.

if the freezer is in good condition it will not emit gases.
i am assuming it is electric and not one of the rare gas freezers
if it is electric there would bo no problem apart fron the noise
hope thats ok

Relax. Your refrigeration system is a sealed system, no refrigeration leaks out, at least it shouldn't. If it does leak out it would do it over time, and it is has such a small amount that it wouldn't harm anybody.

the only only things that come out are damaging to the environment, not directly to us... cfc's etc.
although occupants of the freezer wouldn't be too well off...
