Potable water treatment is the process of making water safe for drinking and other domestic uses by removing contaminants, pathogens, and undesirable chemicals. This typically involves filtration, disinfection, and chemical treatments.
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals used in various industrial and consumer products for their water- and grease-resistant properties. They are a concern because they are persistent in the environment and human body, and exposure to high levels of PFAS has been linked to various health issues including cancer, liver damage, and immune system effects.
PFAS can be removed from drinking water using advanced treatment technologies such as activated carbon filtration, ion exchange, and high-pressure membrane systems like reverse osmosis. These methods are effective in capturing and reducing PFAS concentrations to safe levels.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for PFAS in drinking water, including 4 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and PFOS. These regulations are part of ongoing efforts to address PFAS contamination and protect public health.
Long-term exposure to PFAS has been linked to adverse health effects such as cancer, liver damage, decreased fertility, increased risk of asthma and thyroid disease, and immune system suppression. These risks highlight the importance of removing PFAS from drinking water.
WE2C Environmental is developing advanced potable water treatment technologies specifically designed to remove PFAS and other contaminants. Our patented SEA® Sorbent Technology and Granulated activated carbon (GAC) solutions are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
