That’s kinda misleading though. Large molecule PFAS are harmless to us (Teflon for example). It’s the small molecule PFAS are dangerous and those aren’t really used for any kind of non-stick surfaces.

Bad news: Todays needles are coated in PFAS to make punctions more painless.

What are they used for
Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
They’re part of the waste of producing non-stick coatings. So you aren’t exposed to them by the needle or your Teflon frying pan or the Teflon tape in your plumbing, you’re exposed to them by the Teflon plant dumping their waste in the river, legally or otherwise

Which kinda PFAS do they use for hydrophobic coatings
Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve never really looked into this, do you have any good sources you recommend looking at?

As someone who takes a weekly shot, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME 😭
Uuugh I don’t want to switch to daily gel or patches, it’s such a pain in the ass.

Unfortunately no. Afaik even regular exposition is (for now) considered relatively harmless, with medical professionals bearing the highest risk.
