What is replacing PFOA? Is it something already present in what we eat or is it a ’new’ molecule that living organisms have never seen before?

What is replacing PFOA?
Is it something already present in what we eat or is it a ’new’ molecule that living organisms have never seen before?
- californical 4y agoI am far from an expert, but there are hundreds of extremely similar but slightly modified versions of PFOA that haven’t been proven unsafe, so are still allowed, but they’re all so similar it’s hard to believe that they’ll have different affects. We’ll see though in another 30-50 years how much they’ve hurt us again!

- stjohnswarts 4y agoPTFE is still perfectly safe. This is a scare tactic and click bait. PFOAs have been out of vogue for a long time.
