PFAS "forever chemicals" found in 45% of U.S. tap water, study says

Жыл бұрын

A new study found that nearly half of the nation's drinking water contains potentially harmful "forever chemicals," called PFAS. The substances have been linked to several serious health problems, including some cancers. Mark Strassmann reports on efforts to eliminate the chemicals, plus the study's lead author, Kelly Smalling, joins CBS News to break down the findings.

Water can be used to drink but since it has chemicals people are worried. Chemicals are bad for consumption, not good, not good at all. Water is suppose to be water, not chemicals. If we wanted water to be chemicals we would make it chemicals. Let me break it down Water = water Chemicals = chemicals Chemicals + water = chemicals Water + water = water So like I said, chemicals are not water. We want water. If the people wanted chemical water we would ask, but we didn't ask for that. We wanted water.

If you want higher standards of water, you need to pay more. Tap water is not generally meant for consumption, although it’s acceptable for it. It’s the same water that goes into your toilet, shower and lawn. It doesn’t make sense to spend double the amount on cleaner water if it’s just going to end up on your lawn or in your toilet anyway, which is why you should get your drinking water from a superior source.

Actually, rainwater is not safe either. The Stockholm University study in 2022 found that levels of PFAS contamination are so persistent and widespread that even the most sparsely populated regions of the world, such as Antarctica and the Tibetan plateau, contained levels of the toxic “forever chemicals” that surpassed even the most “stringent” existing guidelines, the authors said. “There is nowhere on Earth where the rain would be safe to drink, according to the measurements that we have taken,” Ian Cousins, a professor at the university and lead author of the study, said recently.

they used the words market and customers......why would we the public have to pay in any individual manner to have our drinking water cleaned from chemicals that corporations polluted and the government neglected to regulate. regardless of that logic, there is the inherent logic that the government fund whatever technology is necessary to make drinking water safe for future generations. Either form of logic, there should not be more than a tax increase at best to make this happen.

I'm so glad we got these fact checkers and that I should just throw out my 6 degrees in water chemistry. Tell me this, The metropolitan water district pulls water from the Colorado River water for southern California, but before they pull from the river, there are more than 452 wastewater discharges into that river upstream. Any pharmaceutical medicines can not be removed by conventional treatment. The only way to remove pharmaceuticals is to distill the water. That is our highest level of purification after deionized/reverse osmosis. Las Vegas is one of those discharges, It's guaranteed that there's pharmaceuticals in their discharge.

If you're really concerned about your drinking water you can get one of the home water distillers and that will remove 99% of the PFAS from your drinking water, but it will not eliminate the PFAS it will just leave it behind in the pot that the water was boiled in.

We wonder why we develop dementia/alzheimers. It's in our water, and food. I think it's best we eat as little as possible while eating as healthy as possible when we do consume, and an alternative to drinking water is to juice watermelon, and other high water content fruits because our water is so contaminated right now. Fruit isn't 100% perfect, but i believe it's the better option. Even the air we breathe. Best to take care of your health now before it's too late. Growing up in the "hood" i wish i was given the knowledge on how unhealthy, and what these food options were doing to my body at such a young age, even the ingredients when trying to eat healthy at home. Now that i'm older (34, i'm an old man now), i have the knowledge, and can at least spread it to others.
