TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Dario THUBURN "Ukraine-finance-Economy".Vladimir Boyko, Director of Iron and Steel Factory of the Ukrainian industry city of Mariupol, smokes during an interview on October 29, 2008. Hundreds have already lost their jobs in this heavily polluted industrial hub for Ukraine's metals sector, and industry insiders fear slumping steel prices could eliminate hundreds of thousands more jobs countrywide. "The whole of the metals industry is today on the verge of collapse," warned chain-smoking factory director Vladimir Boyko, who said his more than 60,000 employees faced an uncertain future without immediate state intervention.

En cuanto a mí, seguiré fiel a mis ollas y sartenes de acero inoxidable de Faberware que he tenido por años. El acero Stainless es seguro, de acuerdo a SafeMama, pero no tiene la cubierta de teflón que tanto le gusta a la gente.
SafeMama ha llegado con un consejo para ayudarte a diferenciar que es seguro y que no es seguro en el campo de las cubiertas antiadherentes.
De acuerdo a SafeMama esta es la clave: busca sartenes que no contengan PFCs (también conocidos como PFOA, PFOS, C8, PTFE y Teflón) Algunas opciones sugeridas por SafeMama son las sartenes con cubierta antiadherente anodizada Cuisinart GreenGourmet, las sartenes GreenPan y las sartenes de acero inoxidable.
