A couple of years ago I was shopping for school uniform shorts for my grandsons and I noticed that those sold in the big chainstores were “teflon-coated” in order to be “stain resistant” and “non-iron”. I was not happy about this and bought them some (more expensive) shorts from a proper school uniform shop without such a coating.

The one I have has teflon which has come off and everything sticks to it. Plus I am aware of the health hazards that teflon yields when heated, so want to keep away from it. Any ideas?

Teflon, also known polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) itself is relatively inert.
If heated hot enough, though(several hundred degrees), it can decompose and give off some potentially nasty and unhealthy gases. I don’t know right off the top of my head what these would be, but I know that certain species of pet birds are especially sensitive to them.
This hazard can generally be avoided, though, by not heating teflon cookware when empty.horde leveling guide
