Fluoropolymer

It's gonna eat them.

We tried a number of styles going from the workplace to a workout and then some. Top brands like Gymshark, Lululemon, and Reebox came out on top in our testing.

Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are adding to their list of consumer products that contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a toxic class of fluorine compounds known as "forever chemicals."

If your pan was produced before a certain year, it's probably best to chuck it. Here's how to tell and everything else you need to know about Teflon.

People who wear smart/fitness watches for their health are absorbing large amounts of a chemical known as PFAS

Toxic chemicals have been found in everything from strawberries to waterproof clothing. Should we worry?

I have previously authored many articles about per- and polyfluroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals," and the misinformation and lack of scientific credibility surrounding them. However, Europe has outdone the U.S. on the absurdity of their proposed regulations on these chemicals. On February 7, 2023, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) proposed to ban all PFAS, which would affect more than…

Does the world's tech present—and future—require PFAS? Mark Newman discusses on Fortune's Leadership Next podcast.

PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a group of more than 4,700 fully synthetic compounds that are widely used in industrial and manufacturing processes and found in many consumer products, persist through wastewater treatment at levels that may impact the long-term feasibility of "beneficial reuse of treated wastewater," according to a study conducted by researchers at Penn State and recently published in…

Chemists accidentally discovered the material in 1938, and since then it has been used for everything from helping to create the first atomic bomb to keeping your eggs from sticking to your frying pan

A promising new technique separated 100-percent of fluorine from one PFAS overnight.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nicknamed "forever chemicals," pose a growing environmental and health threat. Since the invention of Teflon in 1938, PFAS and perfluorinated polymers or PFs have been widely used for their exceptional stability and resistance to water and heat.

The human brain has billions of neurons. Working together, they enable higher-order brain functions such as cognition and complex behaviors. To study these higher-order brain functions, it is important to understand how neural activity is coordinated across various brain regions.

Salon spoke with scientists who specialize in how so-called "forever chemicals" are polluting the environment

Researchers in the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University have developed a coating system that shows promise in preserving historical monuments—and possibly much more.

The Environmental Protection Agency is warning that two compounds found in drinking water, known as PFOA and PFOS, are more dangerous than previously thought.

The EPA issued nonbinding health advisories that set health risk thresholds for PFOA and PFOS to near zero.

The Environmental Protection Agency is warning that two nonstick and stain-resistant compounds in drinking water pose health risks at levels so low they cannot currently be detected. Most uses of
