PFAS are synthetic chemicals that have been linked to cancer, thyroid problems, immune system effects, and developmental issues in children. They're called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down naturally in the environment or in the human body.
If your water system has detected PFAS, consider using a certified PFAS-removal filter (reverse osmosis or activated carbon). Contact your water provider about their treatment plans and timelines for PFAS removal.
