PFAS Overview and Treatment Solutions from Intec

PFS are becoming one of the most talked about contaminants in drinking water. Here is what they are - and how to treat them.

What PFAS?

PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) or a group of 1000 synthetic chemicals used on products such as nonstick cookware, stain resistant fabrics, food packaging, and firefighting foam. Below is a partial list:

Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA)
Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS)
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)
6:2 Fluorotelomer sulfonate (6:2FTS)
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
Perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA)

Because they do not break down easily, PFAS are often referred to as forever chemicals. They can enter drinking water supplies through manufacturing, landfills, and environmental contamination.

Why PFAS are getting attention?

· PFS contamination is now a major focus for regulators and homeowners alike

· New EPA regulations are tightening limits on PFS and drinking water

· PFS has been detected in water supplies cross the US impacting over 176 million people (Check out the map here-https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/map/)

· homeowners are increasingly asking how to remove them
