PFA Polluters in your watersheds

PFAS are chemicals that break down very slowly and are commonly known as "forever chemicals".

Current peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that exposure to certain levels of PFAS may lead to:

  • Reproductive effects such as decreased fertility or increased high blood pressure in pregnant women.
  • Developmental effects or delays in children, including low birth weight, accelerated puberty, bone variations, or behavioral changes.
  • Increased risk of some cancers, including prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.
  • Reduced ability of the body's immune system to fight infections, including reduced vaccine response.
  • Interference with the body's natural hormones.
  • Increased cholesterol levels and/or risk of obesity.

If PFAS have been dischraged in your local waterways at any point there is a chance they could end up in your drinking water. The best treatment options for PFA removal are catalytic carbon and Reverse Osmosis.
