Stain repellent chemical linked to thyroid disease in adults
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-01/tpco-src011810.php
"A study by the University of Exeter and the Peninsula Medical School for the first time links thyroid disease with human exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). PFOA is a persistent organic chemical used in industrial and consumer goods including nonstick cookware and stain- and water-resistant coatings for carpets and fabrics."
