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?
restaurants that use C-8-coated cookware
cookware manufacturers who make pans out of steel only
stores that sell C-8 nonstick cookware
individuals who use steel cookware at home

Individuals who use steel cookware at home might benefit financially the most from the EPA's claim. As the use of C-8 in nonstick cookware is discontinued, individuals who choose steel cookware as an alternative will not have to purchase new cookware or replace their existing nonstick cookware.
