Non-stick cookware isn’t a significant source of PFAS exposure because while technically a PFAS, PTFE is a stable polymer. This is important because you might have replaced your cookware and feel safe while not realizing that the sofa and the rug in your home are spewing PFAS in the air every time you brush against it. Furniture and carpets are the main source for residential PFAS exposure. Unless your water is super contaminated of course.
Oh nice. Well at least shorter chain PFAS degrade faster, but that’s a shit consolation prize.
