Why PFAS matters at home
"Forever chemicals" persist in the environment. Homes near airports, industry or historical firefighting foam sites see higher attention — but interest is national.
What to buy
Look for systems with relevant NSF/ANSI reduction claims and keep pre-filters fresh. Pitcher filters vary widely; RO is the reliable kitchen strategy.
Whole-home carbon is not enough alone
Carbon helps chlorine and taste. For PFAS at drinking taps, pair or prefer certified RO.
