PFOA and Teflon• Perfluorooctanoic Acid
– A carcinogen and toxicant– Synthetic compound– Molar Mass
• 414.07 g/mol– Typical amount found in cookware
• 4.3 ppb
• Teflon– Chemically known as
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)– Synthetic fluorocarbon polymer– Degrades around 260°C

Background
• PFOA is a surfactant used to attach PTFE into cookware making it non-stick.
• PFOA is removed when cookware is cured, but residual amounts can remain
• If the cookware is scratched or heated to high temperatures during cooking, the residual levels can be released into the air or the food being prepared.

Hypothesis
By using proper analytical techniques the residual PFOA that is released when Teflon
coated cookware is heated to high temperatures can be
measured.

Techniques ConsideredTechniques Advantages Disadvantages
IR • PFC’s are easily differentiated between
• Fast
• Matrix and Solvents must be essentially non-existent
Reverse Phase HPLC • Good Selectivity• Easily reproducible• PFC’s all have different
retention times
• Costly• Time consuming• Requires large amounts
of solvents
Suppressed Conductivity Detection
• Good Selectivity• Good Sensitivity• Fast• Inexpensive
• Newer technique without much data available
• Must use HPLC and not GC

Sample Prep
1. Empty Teflon coated cookware is heated up to varying temperatures– Specifically around 200-300°C • Smoke point of oils and where Teflon
degrades
2. PFTE (Teflon) must be scraped off of cookware and made into a powder
3. Internal standards of PFOA and PFTE are added

Expected ResultsPotentially harmful levels of PFOA will be
found in Teflon coated cookware upon heating to high temperature

Conclusion
To determine the safety of Teflon coated cookware GC/MS analysis can be used to measure the levels of residual perfluorooctanoic acid
which are harmful to humans.
