Non-stick pans could release millions of microplastic particles in possible 'health concern​

https://news.flinders.edu.au/blog/2022/10/31/not-so-tough-teflon

Scientists from Newcastle University and Flinders University have now been able to measure how millions of tiny plastic particles potentially come off during cooking and in the wash as non-stick pots and pans gradually lose their coating.

Just one surface crack on a Teflon-coated pan can release about 9100 plastic particles, found researchers from the Global Centre for Environmental Remediation and Flinders Institute of NanoScale Science and Engineering.

And at a micro scale, their Raman imaging and an algorithm model have identified the release of 2.3 million microplastics and nanoplastics from broken coating.

i've always avoided teflon coated anything...............pans should be stainless steel and not aluminum.........
