Nature is not polluted by Fluoroplastics. Acid gases produced during the combustion process at high temperatures are neutralised in waste incinerating plants and if at all there is an impact on the environment it is insignificant. This is especially evident when considering the reduced pollution that is gained through the reduction of resources when Fluoroplastics are applied.
