EPA Studying Potential Health Risks of Chemical Used to Make Teflon Occupational Hazards
The EPA said last week that perfluorooctanoic acid, known as PFOA, or C-8, has been detected in 'very low levels' in the environment and in the blood of the general U.S. population, and that studies indicate PFOA 'can cause developmental and other adverse effects in laboratory animals.'
The chemical's effects on humans are not known, the agency says, nor does the EPA 'have a full understanding of how people are exposed to PFOA,' which the agency says is not found in products after their manufacture.------------------------------------------- posted 12:36 PM :: reference link ::
