Please refer to websites.

Answer 1

social benefits- due to its non stick qualities in frying pans the social benefits can be less oil splatter and a reduced need to wash your clothes after cooking
environmental benefits- reduced need for cooking oil so therefore a reduced need for detergent going into the drain after washing up after cooking.
ethical factors- reduced harm to the environment due to reduced fats and detergent entering the sewerage system and eventually the ocean.
Teflon works by sticking to the frying pan and not your food
Is Teflon useful? Yes
Benefits/limitation? A befit of Teflon would be its non stick ability on food and a limitation would be that it scratches easily

This is a very big problem we have in today's society, weather or no to use non stick Teflon or cast iron fry pans. To me I don't really care because I eat out of a tin can. That's because I'm a cat.
