Is PFAS dangerous to human health?
Population studies in humans show a link between exposure to certain PFAS's and poorer vaccine responses in children, liver damage, elevated blood lipids, intestinal diseases and thyroid disorders. The two most well-known PFAS substances PFOS and PFOA are also suspected carcinogens and can have negative effects on reproductive capacity. What levels you are exposed to, when in life, and for how long, are believed to play a crucial role. But of the thousands of PFAS substances on the market, the vast majority of PFASs are still completely untested.
It is estimated that all Americans now have PFAS in their blood.
How do I know I have PFAS in my water?
By now, it is fairly safe to say that most of us have PFAS in our water. Biomonitoring studies by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate PFAS may be in the blood of nearly all Americans. A study published in Environmental Sciences Europe found that around 100 million people in 66 cities across China were drinking tap water with unsafe levels of PFAS — and the scope of the problem continues to grow globally.
Do Bluewater machines remove PFAS?
Yes, our machines remove 99,97% of all the most common "forever chemicals", such as PFAS, PFOA, PFOS, PFBA, and PFBS. This has been independently verified by accredited laboratories such as Eurofins.
