How to remove "forever chemicals" from our drinking water.

In 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency established national limits on "forever chemicals" in drinking water. These chemicals, called PFAS or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have made products convenient and easy to use for years, but are now causing health problems. Scientists are looking for ways to remove them from municipal drinking water.
