What Should I Know About PFAS/PFOA?
Here’s what you need to know about PFAS/PFOA in South Jersey:
- The majority of PFAS/PFOA exposure may be through contaminated drinking water.
- PFAS/PFOA are not removed from water when you boil the water.
- PFAS/PFOA is tied to a number of health concerns, including increased cholesterol, increased uric acid, lower antibody levels after a vaccination, increased liver enzymes, tumor growth, kidney cancer, and testicular cancer.
- Children may have increased responses due to their lower overall body weight. They may suffer from low weight/weight gain and increase risk of infectious disease.
- If your water is contaminated beyond the state standards, you should be notified.
- If this happens, start relying on bottled water immediately. You can also have your South Jersey water tested and a filter installed to remove PFAS/PFOA.
- If there are PFAS/PFOA in your water, you should also use bottled water in your humidifier until a filter is installed.
What Are PFAS/PFOA?
PFAS/PFOA are Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances. These are man made chemicals that have a wide variety of commercial and industrial uses because they repel water and oil and resist heat.
Sometimes, they make their way into drinking water. This happens through industrial chemical release, sewage contamination, and more. They show up in the bloodstreams of over 98% of the population of the United States.
When Do I Need To Treat My Water For PFAS/PFOA?
The first step toward treating your water for PFAS/PFOA is to test for them. Just because they weren’t in your water before doesn’t mean your water will stay that way. What isn’t here today could be in your water tomorrow. Call us for PFAS/PFOA testing!
There are a wide variety of filtration systems that can remove PFAS/PFOA from your water. Reverse osmosis and carbon exchange systems are only two that can do this for you. Our team will match you up with the system that best suits your needs, then install it for you fast.
