Take the assignment from the previous week, add at least twice as much data to the data sets. Note how this impacted the results from the previous week. Be sure to have a visualization to show the initial results and the new results. Be sure to explain why the results are different or similar from last week. The three principles of good design that I chose to use are:  Good design is honest. It doesn't pretend a product is better than it is or makes false promises to trick customers.  Good design is long-lasting. It doesn't follow passing trends and stays useful for long, even when things are often thrown away quickly.  Good design is environmentally-friendly. It tries to use fewer resources and not create a mess during the product's entire life (Rams, 2023). Problem Statement Non-stick cookware is often green-washed or marketed as “healthy" due to the absence of the traditional PFOA (Teflon) coating. However, there is vast research and proof that any non- stick coating, despite claims of safety, still pose health risks and potentially contribute to many diseases including cancer. Requirement

I want to analyze the types of non-stick cookware in the US and find the least hazardous option for the environment. Analysis For this add-on exercise, I chose to analyze four more types of cookware in the US, that are marketed as “non-stick” adding up to a total of eight non-stick types. I couldn’t find real data points and so I created a hypothetical dataset based on my research of these coatings/ materials. No. Type of Material Health Hazard Score (1 = least hazardous, 5= most hazardous) Environmental Impact Score (1 = least impact, 5 = most impact) Durability Score 1 = least durable, 5 = most durable) 1 Teflon 5 4 3 2 Ceramic 3 2 4 3 Cast Iron 1 1 5 4 Stainless Steel 2 3 4 5 Carbon Steel 2 3 4 6 Enameled Cast Iron 2 2 5 7 Anodized Aluminum 3 2 3 8 Superhydrophobic (Howard, 2023) 3 2 4 (Grand View Research, Inc., n.d.)

For the final analysis, a combination of the scores for environmental impact, health hazard and durability of non-stick cookware was calculated. The first graph is of Week 2’s exercise and the second graph is for Week 3 with four additional non-stick types. Just because Teflon has the highest bar does not mean it is the best coating.
