My wife is an environmental contractor and one of only a few true experts in the field of PFOA/PFAS.

She has removed PFAS contaminated soil/water from all over the US, the Caribbean, Alaska, Japan, Guam, Europe and the Middle East.

PFOA/PFAS is everywhere. If your locality isn’t showing any contamination they aren’t looking hard enough.

The map shows MQT as clean. Or they did not test.
One would think the area surrounding the former K.I. Sawyer AFB would be loaded with the stuff!

We are 1.6 times PFOS and 1.2 PFOA, interesting that two cities next to use show zero PFAS detected.

There has been a lot of issues here with water plants and the city...

Yep, I'll keep using my PUR water filter! If it really even helps. Confused

Our well is 600’ to the bottom of the bore hole with the pump sitting at @420’. I’m probably about as safe as anyone can be as that is deep and well filtered.

The down-home city well shows 6x the limit for PFOA. Our old groundwater well for the house may still be intact, but I'd want it sampled before drinking from it. About the time public water was available is when they built a landfill about a mile away from there as the crow flies.

It’s all over NC. I have had a Berkey Filter for years. I finally convinced my son to get one to protect his three year old and one year old children.
