Cookware companies have been using a chemical called C-8, which helps to create a nonstick coating to pans. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently claimed that the use of C-8 in the manufacturing of nonstick cookware should be discontinued because studies show it causes cancer. Who might benefit financially the most from the EPA’s claim?

Explanation:

The choices provided are:

a.restaurants that use C-8-coated cookware

b.cookware manufacturers who make pans out of steel only

c.stores that sell C-8 nonstick cookware

d.individuals who use steel cookware at home

From these choices B is the correct answer.

Restaurants that use C-8 cookware will not profit from using it but will need to lose money by replacing the old C-8 coated cookware.

Stores that sell this nonstick cookware will also need to replace their inventory so they won't be making extra money, only losing it.

And individuals at home will still be using steel cookware and won't benefit or lose anything by this change with the regulations of the c-8 coated nonstick cookware.
