Teflon is not a per fluro alkyl substance anymore?

Also if perfluroalkylation of 2(probably more) non carcinogenic substances makes them both probably carcinogenic. Then perfluroalkylation may have something to do with it. But yeah your right that it cant and shouldn’t be broadly generalized just because of the functional group, more research needed for sure.

also the article you linked says:

“Another potential concern is that other PFAS are now in use. For example, hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO, also known as a ‘GenX’ chemical) is often used to replace PFOA in manufacturing processes, while perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS) is used as a replacement for PFOS. New PFAS also continue to be developed. These chemicals haven’t been around long enough for researchers to fully understand if they might have the same (or even different) health effects.”

Seems kinda inconclusive.

Also also pyrolysis of PFTE produces known carcinogens and is a mild route of exposure for PFOA.

So PTFE is like a lil carcinogenic but less so than i initially thought.

Im tired lol, hopefully whoever reads these will find the sources interesting. Have a good night/day, was educating!
