Breaking the forever chemical cycle starts with industry
Briefly

The article highlights the pervasive issue of PFAS contamination, referred to as 'forever chemicals,' affecting various sectors, including drinking water. With almost half of U.S. tap water contaminated, the health implications are alarming, linked to cancers and chronic diseases. Regulatory bodies like the EPA are responding with proposed limits and funding estimates for compliance. The potential financial burden of inaction is staggering, prompting industries to invest in PFAS removal and destruction technologies, which can provide not only compliance but also broader market opportunities and trust with consumers.
Investing in PFAS removal and destruction technologies can help mitigate risks, open new markets, keep pace with regulations, and earn trust in an era where sustainability is crucial.
With nearly 50% of the U.S. tap water contaminated by PFAS, regulatory actions like the EPA’s proposed limits for drinking water are just the tip of the iceberg.
