the workers in these plants take huge doses. cancers and reproductive issues have been known for a long time. bird owners have been railing for the last 3 decades about not only their dangers, but about how ubiquitous they are.
the most ridiculous uses i know of include- spraying them on clothes to make them ‘stain resistant’, a thing that killed a lot of little birds quickly. and the most outrageous, imho, was a toilet bowl cleaner w teflon. just dump that crap right in the water supply.
but there’s a reason you dont see the teflon brand any more. they started using euphemisms prolly 30 yrs ago.
