PFAS contaminants contain carbon, fluorine, and other elements. PFAS include PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many other chemicals and are used in a variety of industries around the world.<\/p>\n<p>PFOAs and PFOS are very persistent in our environment and even in our bodies- this means that they don\u2019t break down and can accumulate over time.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals can be exposed to PFAS in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Food:<\/strong>\u00a0Food can be packaged in materials that contain PFAS, processed with equipment that used PFAS, and grown in soil or water that has been contaminated with them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial household products:<\/strong>\u00a0PFAS can be found in stain- and water-repellent fabrics, nonstick products (ex. Teflon pans), polishes, waxes, paints, cleaning products, fire-fighting foams, and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workplaces:<\/strong>\u00a0Production facilities or industries that use PFAS (ex. Chrome plating, electronic manufacturing, and oil recovery).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drinking water:<\/strong>\u00a0This is usually localized and associated with specific facilities (ex. Manufacturers, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and firefighter training facilities). It is estimated that the drinking water supply for at least 16 million people is contaminated with them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Living organisms:<\/strong>\u00a0Fish and animals can be exposed to PFAS which has the ability to build up and persist over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22683 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1257791110.jpg\" alt=\"young woman drinking water close up\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1257791110.jpg 724w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1257791110-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Why is PFAS important?<\/h2>\n<p>PFAS are found in lots of consumer products. Most people are exposed to them which can stay in the body and accumulate over time.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse health effects in humans.<\/p>\n<p>The most studied PFAS are PFOA and PFOS. These studies have shown that PFOA and PFOS had reproductive and developmental, liver and kidney, and immunological effects in laboratory animals. These chemicals also caused tumors in the animals. The most consistent findings were increased cholesterol levels, with more limited findings related to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low infant birth rates<\/li>\n<li>Effects on the immune system<\/li>\n<li>Cancer (for PFOA)<\/li>\n<li>Thyroid hormone disruption (for PFOS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22684 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1040455046.jpg\" alt=\"Middle age man drinking a glass of water with a happy face standing and smiling with a confident smile showing teeth\" width=\"707\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1040455046.jpg 707w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1040455046-400x279.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>What\u2019s the difference? PFOA vs. PFOS vs. GenX vs. other replacement PFAS<\/h2>\n<p>PFAS are found in consumer products like cookware, food packaging, and stain repellants. PFAS are commonly found in manufacturing and processing facilities, airports, and military installations that use firefighting foams. PFAS can also be released into the air, soil, and water, including drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>PFOA and PFOS are being phased out by most industries but remain persistent in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>GenX is the trade name for a technology that makes high-performance Fluoropolymers (ex. some non-stick coatings) without the use of PFOAs. GenX chemicals have been found in surface water, groundwater, finished drinking water, rainwater, and air emissions in some areas.<\/p>\n<p>PFBS has been used as a replacement chemical for PFOS. PFBS has been identified in environmental media and consumer products, including surface water, wastewater, drinking water, dust, carpeting and carpet cleaners, and floor wax.<\/p>\n<h2>How to find out if PFAS are in your drinking water<\/h2>\n<p>Do you think your water has been contaminated with PFAS?\u00a0The Water Quality Association (WQA) recommends that you contact your state for a list of laboratories that are certified to test PFAS using EPA Method 537.<\/p>\n<p>You can also search online for EPA Certified Labs for drinking water testing.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22685 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1176074577.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in a blue plaid shirt pours water into the glass of the faucet in the kitchen\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1176074577.jpg 724w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/iStock-1176074577-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>PFAS Removal<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve had your water tested for PFAS and found that they are present, you\u2019re probably wondering how to remove PFAS from your drinking water and what water filter systems will remove PFAS.
