PFAS in Drinking Water – How You Can Protect Yourself with Carbonit Filter Cartridges
PFAS – the "Forever Chemicals" in Drinking Water: These industrial chemicals are extremely stable, health-hazardous, and have already been detected in many regions. But how can you reliably remove them from your drinking water?
At bluAqua, we offer an innovative solution: the Carbonit GFP M200 Filter Cartridge, specifically designed to remove PFAS.
What are PFAS?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals used in countless everyday products because of their water-, grease-, and dirt-repellent properties: rain jackets, pans, fire-fighting foams, packaging, etc.
Problematic: PFAS are hardly biodegradable and accumulate over years in the environment – and also in the human body.
Risks from PFAS in Drinking Water
According to the Federal Environment Agency, PFAS can lead to a variety of health problems, including:
- Hormonal disruptions
- Impairments of the immune system
- Increased risk of certain cancers
- Reduced fertility
- Developmental disorders in children
The new limits from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are only 4 ppt (ng/l) for PFOA and PFOS – an indicator of the high danger even of the smallest amounts.
Strict limits will also apply in Europe in the future: The new EU Drinking Water Directive sets a limit of 100 ng/l for 20 defined PFAS compounds and 500 ng/l for the total group starting in 2026. The Carbonit GFP M200 Cartridge already helps reliably meet these requirements today.
