Teflon is a PFAS permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cooper8@kbin.earth 1 point 9 months ago PFAS vs PFOS permalink fedilink source parent [–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 point 9 months ago Yes, but not spiritually Teflon doesn't react with basically anything. It won't stick to anything but itself, which makes manufacturing difficult, initially we could only make pure Teflon pieces Every other kind of PFAS is super toxic. Some part of the molecule is reactive, usually very reactive so it sticks to things, and the rest won't react to anything. That causes nasty problems in biology Teflon itself isn't that much of a problem because even if it's around forever, it doesn't react with anything... The byproducts of working with it are what are poisoning people and causing all the problems Anything coated in Teflon are going to have the nasty shit under the Teflon so I'd generally avoid it, but the real take away is that chemical companies are just dumping this shit into water sources knowing it causes super cancer permalink fedilink source parent
