safety data for PFAO degradation

According to the environmental working group, a Teflon non stick coating pan am am long cooking may cause flu like symptoms such as headache, chills, and have a fever, if it is over heated to 680 degrees Fahrenheit, with tons of smoke, the discharge temperature, this is than those that are commonly used in cooking, for example, if you stay the stove water evaporate, heat the pan. In the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) researchers also found traces of PFOA Teflon non stick coating cookware, has been testing method under extreme conditions, which is the majority of consumers how to use these products are not typical.
DuPont know this could happen, but refused to reveal it to the public until recently. Therefore, EPA views have been slowly changing. In 2005 March, the United States Environmental Protection Bureau sent a letter, eight companies, including the DuPont Co, asked them to begin phasing out the PFOA used in the production process, and in 2015 completely eliminated PFOA. Environmental Protection Bureau ordered in 2005 December, the DuPont Co paid a $16500000 civil penalty concealing relevant Teflon non stick coating in health and safety data for PFAO degradation. The money will be used to influence funding research PFOA more on the human body. DuPont Co is expected to PFOA emissions by 99% by 2007 in the United States, its production facilities. As early as in 2006, the United States Environmental Protection Agency Scientific Advisory Committee said, although the environmental protection agency has not been added to the list of carcinogenic substances PFOA, PFOA may indeed is a possible carcinogen.
Just as many other chemical substances on the human body is not well known, Teflon non stick coating cookware is the risk to human health is the need for further research.
