PFAS (per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been used in various industries for several decades. They are known for their non-stick, water-resistant, and heat-resistant properties, making them useful in food packaging, clothing, cookware, and firefighting foams.
However, PFAS has become a concern in recent years because they do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time. Exposure to high levels of PFAS has been linked to various health problems, including kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disorders, and immune system damage.
One of the primary sources of PFAS exposure is drinking water. These chemicals can leach into industrial discharge water sources or use PFAS-containing products. In addition, PFAS can also enter water sources through the breakdown of products that contain them, such as firefighting foams.
Given the potential health risks associated with PFAS exposure, ensuring your drinking water is purified correctly is essential. Several types of filtration technologies can effectively reduce and remove PFAS from drinking water, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These include:
Upgrade your drinking water with advanced filtration technologies from Stonybrook Water to ensure that you consume ultra-pure, healthy water free of PFAS and other contaminants. This can help protect your health and the health of your family and employees.
