ConservativeMind (From the article)”To gauge the impact on drinking water, a team used water samples collected between 2016 and 2021
from 269 private wells and 447 public sources.
Their models suggest 45% of U.S. drinking water samples have at least one PFAS chemical. “(Emphasis mine)
Lab tests developed by the USGS can also test for 32 compounds out of the 12,000 that exist. “
“People can use a carbon filter on their drinking water.
It will need to be changed regularly.
Costly reverse osmosis filtering systems can also help, CNN reported.
(My Opinion): Know your water source and the quality of testing employed.
What systems are employed to assure high quality potable water?
Most community water bureaus provide printed copies of testing results upon request.
If you have a private well, when is the last time you had the water quality tested ?
Much information is contained in the article, as well as in the article posted comments.
Knowledge is self-empowering.
It is telling for me that these articles rarely if ever talk about the concentrations involved. I suspect they are minuscule traces.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good independent testing lab for water quality samples? Would like to do a test of our water system’s work.
This site has a strange sounding name but I ran into it looking for info about a certain chemical. Site has info on PFAS/forever chemicals (they do not leave the body) and many products that have them. DH had to throw all his Glide dental floss away, he had just bought a bunch on amazon. The affects from the PFAS chemical/s are not good at all, detailed on this site.
