It would be cheaper and more effective to buy each house and apartments a water filter. It’s ridiculous to expect your shower water, bath water, dish washing water etc to be super pure.
What bugs me lots more is water fluoridation. Bad for your thyroid!
Do filters remove PFAS?
there’s a little area of St. Pete Fla where many people get cancer and die young.
I don’t believe these environmental wackos. Sorry.
Some funds are available to help utilities. Manufacturer 3M recently agreed to pay more than $10 billion to drinking water providers to settle PFAS litigation.
Everyone wants clean water. But people wonder why manufacturing and related jobs have fled to China, Vietnam and other places....
The real purpose of the article.
Who does that?!
I don’t know about water but I’ve lived in places with very toxic salsa.
To answer the OP’s question - No
6-stage under-sink RO system ... removes everything down to the molecular level of mineral ions ... have used one for decades ... requires some plumbing skill to install and filter changes twice a year ...
I have never used the tap water at my house for drinking or cooking, from day one nearly 40 years ago. When we first opened the tap I could smell chlorine and determined if the water was so bad they had to put that much chlorine in it then we’re not drinking it or using it in cooking.
You wil notice in the interactive map that the water for Manhattan (New York City) is OK. Itb is not “local” water. It comes from many miles upstate from an area where industrial development is kept out. Huge water tunnels bring the water many miles down into New York City.
Not sure I put much stock in their map, although the refineries and chemical plants around here have been dumping their crap in the river and into ditches for 50+ years, so it's anyone's guess how much has made it into the aquifer.
Governmental climate change laws will kill you far sooner than anything toxic this side of fentanyl.
This is why we drink nothing but filtered water. Apparently the Berkey system filters out practically all PFAS chemicals.
