Answers:
The dangerous fumes are a result of heating it over about 650 degrees F. The problem is that all of the NON stick cookware is damaging your health. Teflon is made from fluorine. The fluoride fumes can be fatal as well as damaging to your health. Fluorine depletes the body of iodine and this damages your thyroid's ability to produce hormones. Many people suffer from hypothyroidism due to the cooking utensils, fluoride toothpastes, fluoride in the water, even sodas all contain lots of fluoride.
You most likely will not suffer any immediate problems, but the exposure will affect your body. If you minimize other fluoride exposures, the cumulative affect will be lower.
