A chemical is used in the manufacture of Teflon that has caused widespread concern for both the environment and the public health. Perfluoroctanoic acid (PFOA) or C-8 is a perfluorinated compound that does not break down in the environment, stays in the human body for years, and may have serious in the 1930s side effects. See Teflon Information and Warnings for information safety risks. 3M’s product Scotchgard used a chemical similar to PFOA, but 3M pulled it from the market in 2000 after the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) expressed concerns about safety. DuPont has refused to admit any danger in the use of Teflon and refuses to withdraw it from the market. The Teflon claim is that Teflon and PFOA pose no risk to health or to the environment.
