PFOA - Perfluorooctanoic Acid - Concerns Regarding Exposure and Products Such As Teflon:
 

Is PFOA present in food, drinking water and indoor air?

As the source of PFOA in the environment is not known at this time, neither is the pathway or route by which it is getting into humans. There is some limited data on the general environmental presence of PFOA, but not enough to draw any significant conclusions. Additional studies are attempting to answer these pressing questions and should be reported to the public later this

year.
