Air fryer coatings often involve chemicals PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA, which are related but distinct. PFAS is a large family of over 4,000 synthetic compounds resistant to heat, water, and oil, used in various products including cookware. PTFE, known as Teflon, is a non-stick polymer within the PFAS family. Health risks depend on actual appliance use rather than just materials, and research shows nuanced safety profiles rather than absolute safety or danger.
