Subject: Teflon combustion products?
Comments: To: SAFETY 

Does anyone have any familiarity with the combustion products  
association with Teflon labware and whether they are likely to end up  
in the soot associated with smoke from a fire? We had a lab fire  
yesterday and there is the potential for Teflon to have burned in the  
event. The runoff water from the spinklers and fire response was  
neutral, but there is a lot of soot in the laboratory and we need to  
assess clean up procedures.

Thanks for any information.
