PFA's in your drinking water? We can't have too little of them.

Yes, it is worth hiring a water treatment specialist to remove PFA;s (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) from your water supply. PFA's chemicals are a group of human-made substances that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products due to their water and heat resistance properties. However, they have raised concerns due to their persistence in the environment and potential adverse health effects.



The statement that there is no safe threshold for "forever chemicals" means that even very low levels of PFA's exposure can have potential health risks. These chemicals are known as "forever chemicals" because they do not break down easily in the environment and can persist for a long time. They bioaccumulate in living organisms and can accumulate in the human body over time.



Research suggests that exposure to PFA's chemicals may be associated with various health issues, including developmental effects, liver damage, immune system suppression, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Due to their potential health risks and persistence, regulatory agencies and health organizations recommend minimizing exposure to PFA's as much as possible.


Water treatment specialists such as Hambly Water Conditioning can remove PFA's levels in your water supply through various treatment methods such as activated carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, or ion exchange. These methods can effectively reduce PFA's concentrations, providing cleaner and safer drinking water for you and your household.
