This is about right. Teflon (PTFE) itself is mostly harmless to humans because you aren't likely to consume large enough amounts or small enough particles of Teflon for it to enter your bloodstream.

Other PFAS like PFOA, PFOS, PFHXS, and PFNA, which are the kind you would find used to coat the inside of a popcorn bag to keep the butter off the bag, are commonly found in human blood and have been linked to negative health outcomes in humans.

    Except there is literally not a single unscratched and unchipped teflon pan in existence in any household kitchen.

    You will consume those flakes and particles and the wear and tear in your food over years, and it certainly adds up.
