PFAS
Raising the bar on PFAS removal Highly stable and resistant to degradation once in the environment, PFAS is a large group of manmade chemicals, known as ‘forever chemicals’. As the chemicals are being linked to several serious health problems in humans, including cancer, thyroid disease and immune system disorders, the removal of PFAS from water sources is becoming increasingly urgent.
