Analysis of polytetrafluoroethylene and cancer
There are suspected polytetrafluoroethylene carcinogenesis in the world, and this argument needs to be carefully investigated.
Polytetrafluoroethylene is unique in nature, with high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, low friction and other characteristics, and is widely used in cookware coatings, chemical equipment, electronic equipment and other fields.
However, scholars have devoted themselves to research on the theory that it causes cancer. At the beginning of some studies, there may be signs of doubt. However, the way of science emphasizes empirical evidence and is rigorous. Numerous authoritative studies have gradually come to light, and the normal use of polytetrafluoroethylene has not shown conclusive evidence of cancer.
Its properties are stable under normal conditions in cooking, and it is difficult to decompose carcinogenic substances. In the application of chemical equipment, there is no evidence that its fugitive properties can cause cancer.
Although there are differences in past research, with the progress of science and in-depth research, more tend to use polytetrafluoroethylene normally, and it does not pose a cancer risk. However, it should also be noted that if it exceeds its applicable limits, such as extreme high temperature causes polytetrafluoroethylene to decompose, or unknown substances are produced, then this is not a common situation in daily life.
In short, as far as the current scientific understanding is concerned, polytetrafluoroethylene is not necessarily related to cancer in conventional application scenarios, and the public does not need to worry about it without reason. However, scientific research is not limited, and there may be new ideas in the future, so we should continue to observe it
