- delecti 3y agoDo you have a source for that? I'm trying to find anywhere that agrees with you, and every source I can find says PTFE is itself also a PFAS.
- coryrc 3y agoI am wrong. What I was thinking of is the claimed "PFOA-free" on some new cookware is the same as "PFAS-free" which it clearly isn't. Though PTFE is so inert, I don't think it faces the same problems as PFOA and other PFAS used in firefighting.
