Burning shanks is an issue as I was on one occasion, if you look at the 
data sheet the atomic weight is so small the teflon particles will stay 
airborne for a long time, plus on the same sheet is says that teflon is 
harmful to the skin in power form. How many put it on with no gloves and 
we breath it in.
