"Recent news about PFAS “forever chemicals” in Australian drinking water
supplies has been very confronting. Many people are asking how they can remove
these contaminants from their home drinking water.
In short, it is difficult and expensive to do this effectively in your home.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency provides useful and clear
advice about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and how they can be
removed from drinking water.
One of the major challenges in removing PFAS chemicals from drinking water is
the enormous number (more than 10,000) of individual chemicals in this group.
US authorities warn these can cause cancer over a long period of time. No
single filtration or treatment technology is 100% effective at removing them.
So, what are the options? And can you filter too much out of your drinking
water?"
