Nylon? To many things end with on.
funnily enough, that is a DuPont thing, but hasn’t find its way into everyone’s blood yet.

Umm… I’ve some bad news for you.

Which ones are meant
Teflon freon(CFC)…
Teflon is just the brand name. I believe it’s called Polytetrafluorethylene, thus ending in ne :)
Known also as PFAS or forever chemicals
Teflon itself is quite good, getting it to stick to places is the problem.
Quite good, if you avoid the fact it’s literally everywhere including the atmosphere, doesn’t break down, and causes cancer. But who cares about such little things like cancer causing rain…
Again, that’s from getting it to stick to things. The smaller PTFE chemicals that make it possible to suspend Teflon in water are the problem.
Teflon is the brand name for for the chemical Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Making PTFE requires PFAS, which are the toxic part. Think of PFAS as little bits of chain varying lengths that get strung together to make the larger PTFE molecule.
The argument you’re making sounds similar to something like “Fossil Fuels are safe, it’s just the CO2 that’s dangerous.” PFAS contaminated water being released to the environment is an unavoidable by produce of making Teflon. You can only make Teflon as a solid without suspending the PFAS in water first.
Here’s a pretty good video about the history, manufacturing process, and toxicity.
