Before using it you might not be aware of the environmental issues.
This is an extract from this article
http://www.utahonthefly.com/articles/fluoro.html. Whether it is true
or not I have no idea, I always use nylon monofilament anyway.

"Although there is no known biodegradable timetable for these products
when intentionally or accidentally discarded within a natural
environment, researchers have stated that it far surpasses
monofilaments longevity by 100's to 1000's of years. On the flip side,
monofilament lines degrade by 40% when exposed to just 100 hrs. of
ultra violet rays and even more rapidly when exposed to water since
monofilaments do absorb water."
