Filter your drinking water at point of use.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has finalized new regulations on PFAS in public water systems, but they will take several years to go into full effect. The regulations also do not apply to all drinking water in the United States. PFAS chemicals have been linked to serious health problems. Utilities must implement testing procedures within three years and begin notifying the public about PFAS levels if they are above the new standard. The regulations do not apply to well water, and about 15% of the US population relies on drinking water from wells. States could apply for up to $6 billion in grants to counter PFAS pollution. PFAS, known as “forever chemicals,” can take years to leave the body. Look up levels of contaminants in your area using a national tap water database searchable by zip code.
