Yes, I noted that from a quick scan of the Teflon page I found. Posgene, not Saran is what is emitted from Teflon. Thank you for the correction.

If you try to find it, don't confuse it with polyvinylidene chloride, which is Saran wrap. There are a number of sites on the breakdown of teflon such as http://ecomall.com/greenshopping/teflon.htm It is reported to break down to a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB, and a chemical analog of the WWII nerve gas phosgene, which is NOT saran gas.. If you search for both "teflon breakdown" and "saran gas" you will find only 3 or so web pages that have both, and none of those indicate any relation between teflon breakdown products and saran gas.
