What does not kill you makes you stronger. ;-)
But I feel a certain responsibility towards my pets as they have no
control.

Environ Sci Technol. 2007 Feb 15;41(4):1180-5.
Quantitation of gas-phase perfluoroalkyl surfactants and fluorotelomer
alcohols released from nonstick cookware and microwave popcorn bags.

They reported some offgassing of flurocarbons, at ranges that I
consider to be negligible.

Here's an EPA web site: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/pfoa/index.htm,
and a quote from it:

The information that EPA has available does not indicate that the
routine use of household products poses a concern. EPA does not have
any indication that the public is being exposed to PFOA through the
use of Teflon®-coated or other trademarked nonstick cookware. Teflon®
and other trademarked products are not PFOA. At the present time, EPA
does not believe there is any reason for consumers to stop using any
products because of concerns about PFOA.
