PFOA is Perfluorooctanoic Acid - Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Panel
Declares PFOA to be a "Likely" Carcinogen
New: California Governor Vetoes PFOA Ban So That Review System May Be
Implemented.
PFOA: From Cookware to All Weather Clothing: Concerns regarding Exposure and
Risk
PFOA is used as a necessary processing aid in the manufacture of Fluoropolymers.
Fluoropolymers have many valuable properties, including their fire resistance
and ability to repel oil, stain, grease and water. This makes them ideal for use
in providing a non-stick surface for cookware and protective coatings on
clothing.

PFOA's are employed in 100's of industrial uses, including within the fields of
aerospace, automotive, building and construction, chemical processing,
electronics, semiconductors and textile industries. 



Interestingly, though fluoropolymers are made using PFOA, the finished products
are not expected to contain PFOA. Thus the question then becomes, if PFOA's are
not to be found in the final forms of products, why is the world now taking
important notice of PFOA's?

What are the uses of PFOA?
Why is the world now taking notice?
What action is being taken?
Can consumers reduce exposure to PFOA?


How do people get exposed to PFOA?
What products contain PFOA?
Are there reasonable alternatives to the use of PFOA?
What companies manufacture PFOA?
Is PFOA present in drinking water, food or air?
Where will the discussion of these concerns go from here?
