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.

  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

I’ve never really looked into this, do you have any good sources you recommend looking at?
