Also, a lot of nonstick pan coatings are incredibly shortlived and end up in your food if you continue to use a scrarched pan.

I will never use Teflon again. Even using it correctly will kill a bird in the same room. Canary in a coal mine. I won't touch the stuff. Stainless steel or cast iron.

My uncle's parrot he had for a really long time died because he put up some kind of new shades for his living room that off gassed something deadly to birds.

He knew about not using Teflon but not about window shades, or uv resistant plastic products off gassing being hazardous. He was devastated. Some of the shit sold to us is genuinely toxic. It's really messed up when you think about it.

Yes, including in MDF, laminate, most finishes on wood, most plastics, most paints and perfumes. Cement and concrete. Tires. Car exhaust. And there's a lot I'm missing.
