Plastics - PVC - Acrylic

It's often said that Plastic enclosures, PVC enclosures, Acrylic Enclosures, Etc release poisonous fumes when heating, and thus are in safe to use. Animals like BCI's, Ball Pythons, so on have hot spots of about 90 degrees, correct? Human skin is generally around 91-95°, with variation from person to person, indoor - outdoor whether, etc, etc.. But wouldn't that mean that merely touching your reptiles enclosure would let out dangerous fumes? It seems a bit unlikely to me, and I hear this mostly from people defending glass enclosures. I'd love to hear thoughts, opinions, and hopefully hear from some people who are educated on the matter.
