PFAS can be found in:
Classic non-stick coatings are made from PTFE, a substance that falls under PFAS. PTFE stops food from sticking and makes the pan easy to clean. If the coating overheats, for example when an empty pan is left on high heat, fumes can be released. PFAS can also end up in the environment during the production of PTFE coatings.
