Perfluorinated chemicals act as estrogen, the primary female-sex hormone. (Raloff, 2006) A type of perfluorinated chemicals is teflon. Teflon causes prosthetic, liver and pancreas cancer in rodents. Teflon is found in humans, polar bears, human sperm, and at ocean depths of 3,000 feet. Teflon begin to cause harm to the environment when the coatings on microwave popcorn bags get into the popcorn humans eat. Humans then eat the contaminated popcorn, causing harm to the body. A group of humans are pushing for the Safe Chemicals Act to be passed in order to improve the environment. (Long, 2013) The chemical is a suspected carcinogen, nervous system poison, and estrogen mimic in the blood worldwide. (Raloff,
