Check temperatures
editThe temperature range seems low and it is contradicted by other articles such as Non-stick surface. Could there be a confusion between Celsius and Fahrenheit, followed by an OR effort to convert to Celsius a second time? In any case a source would seem desirable.--Oscar Zariski (talk) 12:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Indeed it seems to be like that. I changed the values according to those mentioned in the abstract of a report to which I don't have full access. Someone with more access to relevant literature should find refs for the rest though.Zaluzar (talk) 21:15, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
Needs Citations
editAbout 80% of the article (all but he last two sentences about birds) are uncited. This article really needs some citations, since it, at first blush, seems to have an air of pseudoscience about it.
Why does it happen?
editDoes it do any permanent damage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.23.238 (talk) 02:58, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Re: why does it happen?
editThere is a mention in the perfluoroisobutene (PFIB) article already: "PFIB is a product of pyrolysis of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), one of the substances invoked to explain polymer fume fever." 108.56.69.133 (talk) 23:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
