Outgassing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Outgassing (sometimes called offgassing, particularly when in reference to indoor air quality) is the release of a gas that was dissolved, trapped, frozen or absorbedin some material.[1] Outgassing can include sublimation and evaporation (which are phase transitions of a substance into a gas), as well as desorption, seepage from cracks or internal volumes, and gaseous products of slow chemical reactions. Boiling is generally thought of as a separate phenomenon from outgassing because it consists of a phase transition of a liquid into a vapor of the same substance.

This recalls a characterization of the Other Forum that our @WhippedGuy gave me in a PM: 'Lot's-Wife syndrome'! The damnable urge, e'en in the midst of fleeing therefrom, to turn back and look at the latest doings would, inevitably, expose one to such rampant stupidities and vacancies that the mind and spirit would be frozen for the rest of the day, turning one into a veritable pillar of salt!- The Organ
