I copied this off another thread. If you already know this, stop reading anything added will have <> around it.
Okay, here goes. Just be warned.
<Your handyman> probably won't know these and if he does, he's in the wrong profession.
*PFC = perfluorinated chemical
PFCs break down very slowly and resist greases, oils, resins, etc. They tend to be used as surfactants (~glues) in heated appliances, agriculture or construction. The manufacture of PFCs is either currently or soon will be prohibited in the USA. PFCs are often used in Teflon and Teflon-type products <as well as caulks, insulars, weed/brush killers.>
Your body doesn't make or store these. Non-mammalian creatures <(with no diaphragm)> don't make but will store these in fat <and> fat-associated organs. You, unlike non-mammalian creatures, can ONLY get these by ingesting contaminated foods or beverages (usually water).
*PFNA = perfluorononanoic acid
*PFOA = perfluorooctanoic acid
*PFOS = perfluorooctane sulfonate
