Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in the creation of Teflon, a strong material that was used excessively in the 20th century. PFAS are however noted to be "forever chemicals", which cannot break down and have been known to cause cancer in sizes as small as 4 parts per trillion (the equivalent of 1 drop within several swimming pools), and have been leeched into the environment for nearly a century. Companies such as 3M and DuPont have both been burying this information and spreading harmful misinformation regarding the safety of PFAS.
