The initial heating of pad heaters fabricated from materials coated with PTFE can result in employee exposures to harmful levels of PTFE thermal decomposition products. The details of two such incidents and the results of subsequent environmental monitoring for hydrolyzable fluoride are presented. Average concentrations of hydrolyzable fluoride probably ranged from .05 mg/m3 to 1.0 mg/m3 in the air of the work areas where illness (PFF) occurred. Reduction or elimination of the potential for exposure to these and other thermal decomposition products can be effected by "burning off" the coating in a safe location prior to use.
由涂有聚四氟乙烯（PTFE）的材料制成的垫式加热器在初次加热时，可能会导致员工接触到有害水平的聚四氟乙烯热分解产物。本文介绍了两起此类事件的详细情况以及随后对可水解氟化物进行环境监测的结果。在发生疾病（聚合物烟雾热）的工作区域空气中，可水解氟化物的平均浓度可能在0.05毫克/立方米至1.0毫克/立方米之间。在使用前，通过在安全地点“烧掉”涂层，可以减少或消除接触这些及其他热分解产物的可能性。
