 ROSE MARIE WILLIAMS - TEFLON AND YOUR TOXICITY@Arts & Opinion
The chemicals from which non-stick coatings are made, and fumes from heated cookware, are toxic to birds and laboratory animals.
Virtually no studies have verified the safety of Teflon and related chemicals among the millions of people using non-stick cookware and coated products, though several of the off-gassed chemicals are considered to be highly toxic and are persistent in the environment.
PTFE itself (Teflon) has no current toxic designations due to insufficient data (and the assumption that, as a durable polymer, it is inert), though gaseous particles of it are generated while heating cookware and it is detectable in urine of workers.
