The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Jan. 25 announced a global stewardship program that calls for voluntary withdrawal of use of toxic compound perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
" PFOA is the key ingredient used to manufacture Teflon or fluoropolymers, which are used in the manufacture of a wide range of non-stick and stain-resistant surfaces and products."
' DuPont responded quickly to the invitation. In a statement released on Jan 27, the company said it "has committed to virtually eliminate the sources of exposure to PFOA from our manufacturing operations and products by 2015." '
