Is PFOA still used in Teflon?
While PFOA was used in the past in the US in making Teflon, it is not present (or is present in extremely small amounts) in Teflon-coated products. Because the routes by which people may be exposed to PFOA are not known, it is unclear what steps people might take to reduce their exposure.
