What’s the tea? The EPA is weakening drinking water rules for PFAS
The EPA is proposing to weaken protections against PFAS in tap water – the chemicals linked to cancer, immune harm, fertility issues and developmental problems in kids.
176 million Americans already have PFAS in their water, and they shouldn't have to fix it themselves. But until federal protections catch up, filtering at home is one tool that can help.
We recommend reverse osmosis systems as they’re highly effective at removing PFAS and other contaminants, but our database can also help you find the right filter for your budget and preferences.
