PFAS (combined) in your water

Is PFAS (combined) in drinking water dangerous?

It depends on the level and how long you're exposed. The EPA has set no federal legal limit for PFAS (combined). Meeting the legal limit isn't the same as zero risk — test your water to know your level.

How do you remove PFAS (combined) from water?

PFAS (combined) is treated by Reverse Osmosis and Whole-House Carbon Filter. Choose a system independently certified to NSF/ANSI standards to reduce PFAS (combined), and test your water first to confirm the level.

Health effects

PFAS are a large family of synthetic "forever chemicals" that resist breaking down and accumulate in people and the environment. As a group they are associated with cancer, immune suppression, hormone disruption, and developmental harm. Several individual PFAS now carry federal drinking-water limits.

The health-based goal vs. the legal limit

The federal legal limit (MCL) is the maximum allowed by law. The EPA health goal (MCLG) is the level below which no health risk is expected — it is non-enforceable and often stricter than the legal limit.
