Hi all,
Quick note: the headline is from a Massive Lab Note (https://massivesci.com/notes/scientists-just-cut-the-tolerable-intake-of-pfas-by-99-9/ https://massivesci.com/notes/scientists-just-cut-the-tolerab...), while the link above is pulling from an Oct 2018 article related to an ongoing US health study about safe limits of several PFASs.
I skimmed comments below briefly--PFASs are used as processing components to create non-stick cookware. They can be emitted directly from the cookware as Teflon breaks down, becomes scratched, or is overheated. The "legacy" PFASs have been largely phased out, with replacements like GenX taking their place. These replacements offer similar toxicological consequences compared to "original" PFASs.
