Business Connect Takeaways
PFAS are a class of synthetic chemicals that can be present in soil, air, food, and drinking water, and they have been associated with various health risks.
Effective treatment technologies for removing PFAS from drinking water include nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and granular activated carbon.
The US EPA has proposed legally enforceable Maximum Contaminant Levels for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water, and it is highly recommended to have PFAS-free drinking water.
