Concerns have been raised over the possible negative effects of using PTFE-coated cooking pans. [5] [13] [14] [15] Processing of PTFE in the past used to include PFOA as an emulsifier; however, PFOA is a persistent organic pollutant and poses both environmental and health concerns, and is now being phased out of use in PTFE processing.
