    "#C8 is today defined as two chemicals—#PFOA and #PFOS—that are part of a class of more than 12,000 substances known collectively as #PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Also known as '#ForeverChemicals' because that’s pretty much how long they linger in the environment, PFAS are used in thousands of products from textiles to #nonstick pans to #cosmetics to FireFightingFoam to #FoodPackaging, and more. The chemicals have been linked to a host of physical ills, including decreased fertility, high blood pressure in pregnant people, increased risk of certain cancers, developmental delays and low birthweight in children, hormonal disruption, high cholesterol, and reduced effectiveness of the immune system."

  12. Better Living Through Chemistry (slogan)

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    "The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' (BLTC) is a variant of a #DuPont advertising slogan, 'Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry'. DuPont adopted it in 1935 and it was their slogan until 1982 when the 'Through Chemistry' part was dropped. Since 1999, their slogan has been 'The miracles of science'.

    The phrase 'Better Living Through Chemistry' was used on products that were not affiliated with DuPont to circumvent trademark infringement.[citation needed] This transmutation is now more commonly used than the original. This statement is used for commentary on several different topics, from the promotion of prescription or recreational drugs, to the praise of chemicals and #plastics, to the sarcastic criticism of the same."

  14. La quasi-totalité de l’eau du robinet est contaminée au TFA, un PFAS, alerte l’Anses
    lareleveetlapeste.fr/la-quasi-

    Près de 2 ans après les premières alertes de Générations Futures, l’Anses confirme la présence généralisée de TFA dans l’eau potable. Le TFA est toxique pour le foie et suspecté d'être toxique pour la reproduction humaine.

    « Dans l’eau brute ou distribuée, le TFA a été retrouvé à plus de 100 ng/L. Si la limite réglementaire pour les métabolites de pesticides pertinents (dont fait partie le TFA) était appliquée, l’eau potable en France serait ainsi “non conforme” à la réglementation dans 92% des situations »

  15. Carbon steel pans can't be used to cook acidic foods like tomato sauce.

    Carbon steel pans require some learning. You need to learn how to heat them up properly, how to season them, how to clean them and how to care for them.

    But once you learn that, they're pretty darn tough. Metal utensils? No problem. Use them in the oven? Just fine. Want to use them to get a sear on your food? Heck yes.

    I find them easier to use than stainless steel, and a little nicer to use than cast iron. It took me about a month to learn how to use my carbon steel, and I have to give it almost as much care as cast iron, but I find it a joy to use.

    I think that when switching from non-stick, you should have two pans, but here's my fast breakdown:

    For beginners- get a cast iron skillet.

    For people who want a great sear and an easy to clean pan, get a stainless steel pan.

    And if you want an all around pan, get a carbon steel pan.

  19. The second pan that I think everyone moving away from non-stick should look at is a stainless steel pan.

    Stainless steel pans are versatile and "easy" pans. Unlike cast iron and carbon steel, they don't require seasoning. They can go in your dishwasher, and if you learn to use them right, you can get them to act a bit like a non-stick surface in the right conditions.

    There are a few downsides, but they're small.

    Food does tend to stick on them, or leave something left behind when cooking.

    They also only act non-stick under higher heat. They take some time to learn, but they can also go in the oven, etc.

    This takes us to carbon steel. Carbon steel pans are the workhorse of many commercial kitchens because they're a bit of a jack of all trades, or at least most trades.

    A seasoned carbon steel pan can get a non-stick-like coating, it can go in the oven, on the range, etc.

    I use my carbon steel pan the most, but it does have some drawbacks.

  23. You might be able to stretch your pan out past five or six years, but the manufacturer generally warns against it. And let's be real- by that time your Teflon pan isn't really non-stick anymore.

    Is it easier to make an omelette on a teflon pan? Yes.

    Is it easier to make pancakes and crepes on a non-stick pan? Sure.

    But you can do it on other pans, and moreover, those pans will usually get better with age, not worse! So let's talk about them.

    The first is the "old trusty" cast iron.

    I was a cast iron fan for a long time, but to be honest, I've fallen out of love with cast iron. Nonethless it was my first non-teflon pan, cast iron pans are cheap, easy to find, and they're built like tanks.

    Want it to go on the stove? No problem!

    On an induction burner? No problem.

    In an oven? You got it.

    Over a fire? Sure!

    A cast iron skillet is great.

    But I think there are alternatives that bear serious consideration.

  27. I think everyone already knows this, but you must be very careful with metal utensils and Teflon pans. Scratching the surface of a Teflon pan can lead to chemicals leaching out, or the aluminum being exposed.Because of that, you can't use aluminum utensils.

    That also means you need to be careful how you store your pans. If something scratches the pan, you're sunk.

    Fewer people know that Teflon pans are not meant for high heat. You can only put your Teflon pan on medium heat.Going above that, you will damage the Teflon coating and or it could leach out.

    You also shouldn't put your Teflon pan in the dishwasher or risk the coating coming off.

    And even if you do everything right, treat your Teflon pan with kid gloves, always use rubber or wood utensils, wash it by hand, and never above medium heat, even then your Teflon pan isn't meant to last more than five or six years!

  31. Let's have a talk about non-stick pans and their alternatives.

    I've almost entirely switched away from teflon pans to other things for the last year, only using my teflon pans maybe three or four times, and I have some observations on the discussion/debate.

    It's absolutely true that cooking with cast iron, aluminum, or carbon steel pans can basically replace teflon pans

    It's also true that teflon pans are easier to use and produce incredible non-stick results that nothing else can compare.

    BUT... I think not enough is said about the limitations of teflon pans and how very limited they are, so I'm going to talk about that a little before going into the alternatives.

    New research from Australia's national science agency #CSIRO, the #UniversityOfSouthAustralia and the #UniversityOfWesternAustralia has found that PFAS chemicals can be removed from contaminated water using Australian plants grown in a floating #wetland.

    May 4, 2022

    "They’re the non-stick on #Teflon cookware, the stain resistance in #Scotchgard, and the suppression factor in #FirefightingFoam, but while the staying power of PFAS chemicals was once revered, it’s now infamous as PFAS substances continue to infiltrate the #environment and affect human health.

    "Now, new research from the University of South Australia is helping to remediate the ‘indestructible’ PFASs as scientists show that Australian native plants can significantly remediate PFAS pollutants through floating wetlands to create healthier environments for all.

    "Conducted in partnership with CSIRO and the University of Western Australia, the research found that PFAS chemicals (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) can be removed from contaminated water via Australian #NativeRushes - #PhragmitesAustralis, #BaumeaArticulata, and #JuncusKraussii.

    "Phragmites australis, otherwise known as the #CommonReed, removed legacy PFAS contaminants by 42-53 per cent from contaminated surface water (level: 10 µg/L).

    "According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, exposure to PFAS may lead to a range of health issues including a decline in fertility, developmental delays in children, increased risk of some cancers, a reduced immune system, higher cholesterol, and risk of obesity.

    "UniSA and CSIRO researcher Dr John Awad says that this research could alleviate many of these environmental and health risks by providing a clean, green, and cost-effective method to remove PFAS from the environment.

    " 'PFASs are often referred to as ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down, instead accumulating in the environment and in our bodies where they can cause adverse health effects,' Dr Awad says.

    " 'In Australia, PFAS concerns often relate to the use of firefighting foam – especially legacy firefighting foam – which accumulates in the #SurfaceWater of our #waterways.

    " 'Our research tested the effectiveness of Australian rushes to remove #PFASChemicals from #stormwater, finding that Phragmites australis was the most effective at absorbing chemicals through its roots and shoots.'

    "The study used constructed floating wetlands as a mechanism for plants to grow #hydroponically. Dr Awad says floating wetlands present a novel and flexible way for natural #remediation systems.

    " 'Constructed floating wetlands can be readily installed into existing urban environments, such as holding reservoirs and retention basins, making them highly manoeuvrable and adaptable to local waterways,' Dr Awad says.

    " 'Plus, as this innovative water treatment system does not require pumping or the ongoing addition of #chemicals, it is a #CostEffective remediation system for PFAS removal.

    " 'Add native plants to the mix and we have delivered a truly clean, green and environmentally-friendly method for removing toxic PFAS chemicals from contaminated water.' "

    Notes to editors:

    - So far, the floating wetlands system has only been examined under control laboratory conditions for PFAS remediation and the research team is looking forward to testing it in the real world, under natural conditions.
    - This research is being carried out at the UniSA Mawson Lakes campus. PFAS has not been detected in or around Mawson lakes."

  37. #MaineCDC recommends limiting fish consumption from 4 new bodies of water due to #PFAS contamination

    Maine Public | By Nora Saks
    Published June 30, 2025 at 5:27 PM EDT

    "The Maine Center for Disease Control is recommending that people limit consuming fish from four new bodies of water due to #PFASContamination.

    "The new advisories apply to game fish caught in #LovejoyPond in #AlbionME, the #SebasticookRiver in #BurnhamME and #BentonCollyerBrook in #GrayME, and #AndroscogginLake in #LeedsME and #WayneME.

    "The Maine CDC issued the new guidelines after elevated levels of PFAS, the group of man-made #ForeverChemicals, were detected in fish tissue sampled by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection last year.

    "In the recommendations updated last week, the Maine CDC also expanded its advisories on #AnnabessacookLake in #MonmouthME and #WinthropME, and #MessalonskeeStream in #OaklandME and #WatervilleME.

    "These additions bring the total number of rivers, lakes and streams that have game fish contaminated with unsafe levels of PFAS to 25.

    "For more details on the consumption limits on numbers and species of freshwater fish in each waterbody, check out the Maine CDC website."

    #Fahrrad #Kettenöl mit #Teflon oder #PTFE wird zum Beispiel bei ALDI/LIDL regelmäßig großflächig verkauft und landet dann auf dem #Radweg und in der #Umwelt.

    Edit: Das F100 ist nur ein Beispiel. Vermutlich haben die ALDI/LIDL Teflon Öle eine viel größere Verbreitung, aber ich hab kein Foto davon gefunden.

  41. #ForeverChemicals’ – the part of cleaning you don’t want to last

    "Notable categories of cleaners that either may contain, or have historically contained, PFAS are:

    - glass and hard surface cleaners
    - fabric, upholstery, and #CarpetCleaners and treatments
    - #waxes and polishes for #floors, #furniture, #cars and #boat vessels
    - dishwashing rinse aids
    - #AerosolPropellant-based #cleaners and #AirFresheners
    - #paints and #coatings.

    "Floor sealers and finishes – products that cure into a film once applied – often contain PFAS. During floor stripping and waxing, PFAS concentrations in dust and air particulate matter were one order of magnitude greater than typical residential indoor air and two orders of magnitude greater than outdoor air, according to a 2022 study.

    "But now the cleaning products #Industry wants to keep consumers in the dark about the use of these chemicals in their brands. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in Congress on behalf of leading household cleaning product makers that would deny Americans the right to know about #ToxicChemicals in cleaning products.

    "The manufacturer #Reckitt applauded Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) for introducing the bill, which would rob consumers of crucial information about the ingredients in their products. Reckitt makes popular household brands like #Lysol, #Woolite, #AirWick, #Vanish, #Calgon, among many others.

    And industry giant #SCJohnson
    called for a 'clear federal standard' on disclosing ingredients, knowing any such standard could take a decade or longer. The company manufactures #Glade, #Drano, #Pledge, #ScrubbingBubbles, #Shout and #Windex, along with many other products, including #Ziploc."

  42. Are ‘#ForeverChemicals’ In Your Favorite Sparkling Water? Here’s What to Know

    Many brands have #PFAS levels of more than 1 part per trillion, exceeding the #Environmental Working Group's recommendation.

    "Bottled and canned water is often considered a healthier or safer option, thanks to purification and processing. But that may not necessarily be the case. In 2020, Consumer Reports ran a study to determine PFAS levels in 47 bottled waters, including 35 noncarbonated and 12 carbonated samples. Many of the carbonated waters had PFAS in them."
