PFAs and PFOAs

PFAS (Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and PFOAs (Perfluorooctanoic acid) are a known group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industries for decades. They are persistent in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time which are a concern because they have been linked to various health problems including cancer, liver damage, developmental issues and more. PFAS and PFOAs can enter water sources through industrial discharge, landfill leaching, and the use of firefighting foams, known to be difficult to remove from water using tractional water treatment methods. Therefore, it is important to use an advanced filtration system that is specifically designed to remove these chemicals in the water, making it safer and healthier for use.
