It does not, but aluminum oxide is even more of a "forever chemical" than teflon is, though less so than, for example, the nitrogen that constitutes 78% of the atmosphere.
- mishellaneous 3mo agoi guess in that case the question would be if one should be as worried about the biological effects of PFAS as much as these two other forever chemicals you cite
- onraglanroad 3mo agoI think it's a little late to be worrying about Nitrogen in the atmosphere. If it's any consolation I believe it's mostly harmless.
